In Eternal Rome, worders can happen. For example, three of the Italian creators who have best expressed the city’s soul, Fellini, Pasolini and Sorrentino, weren’t born the-re. Yes, Rome is the Eternal City, but no matter how often we tra-vel there, it will always surprise us with something new, even if the discovery has existed for centuries and centuries. Here nothing is what it seems and, just like a lasagna made layer by layer, the former capital of the classical world has a thou-sand and one personalities. And we’re not talking metaphorically. For example, anyone who decides to stay in the Villa Agrippina hotel, on Gianicolo (in English, Janiculum Hill), will not only do it in one of the city’s most luxurious albergos, they will also rest in the place that accommodated the granddaughter of Augustus, the first Roman emperor. When you leave this great building to go down the slopes of the Gianicolo, on the other side of the Tiber River, it will also make you think of the characters of Pier Paolo Pasolini who depicted this other Rome that was larger than life (it didn’t even look like Rome), experienced by the film director, who would have been 100 years old this year. An underground town On the nearby Vatican Hill, once again, Rome turns the screw of one of its underground treasures. However, it is worth succum-bing to the pleasure of literally walking on top of them, the silent Vatican gardens. In this setting it is easy to emulate the protago-nists of Sorrentino’s The Young Pope, though always accompanied ENG Roma está repleta de parques y jardines, escenarios de silencio que conectan con la historia. // ENG Rome is overflowing with parks and gardens, silent settings that connect with history.
