https://vnnforum.com/showthread.php?t=554728 I recently returned from a trip through European cities . . Gotta say , about Rome : A trip through Rome means :
A lot of Antiquity , Middle Ages , Renaissance , church-stuff , even World War 2 history . .
So , yes , in a way , it is an 'eternal city'
"Rome . . sweet Rome"
. . one of the most important and most influential cities worldwide . . next to cities like London or New York . .
