Rome is a city where every cobblestone conceals a civilisation. The Colosseum, the Pantheon, St. Peter's Basilica, and the Forum are merely the monuments — the real Rome lives in the neighbourhood trattorie of Trastevere, the hidden Baroque churches, and the golden-hour passeggiata along the Tiber. Luxury here is layered: a palazzo suite overlooking the Spanish Steps, a private after-hours Sistine Chapel visit, a plate of cacio e pepe that has been perfected for three generations.
