In Rome, the most ancient and most alive city in Europe, you have chosen to stay in the vibrant heart of the city, in the district where the center of the power is (due to its vicinity to the Italian Parliament). In the area Campo Marzio, a flat pedestrian area where scenic eighteenth-century scenarios coexist with more austere four fifteenth-century "postcards", you can entertain you in the best Roman caffetteries such as the Tazza d'Oro (where if you want they will help you in the choice of the best coffees of the world roasted to perfection), you can admire the showcases of shops - a lot of the pelletteries and the menswear shops - among the most ancient of Rome of sober and elegant taste. Is also very easy to meet some political having its central “abode” in this zone.

If you feel like cycling - crossing the ancient Via Lata (nowadays Via del Corso) among the most commercial arteries in the city, you can reach Square Venezia and the Capitol (taking south) and the Ara Pacis or Mausoleum of August and the Popolo square (taking north). You only have to go down from your apartments to find yourself in front of the "most beautiful ruin of the Roman antiquity, without doubt the Pantheon". This temple has so little suffered that it appears us as seen by the Romans in their epoch. I believe that this immense vault, suspended on the head without apparent support, gives well soon a fear feeling to fool people; but soon fool people will be reassured thinking that it is to please me that they gave me such a strong feeling" (Stendhal, "Roman Walks").
To the impressions and feelings that it will give you this monument to be added those arising from the square itself, its architectural scenes and some fifteenth-century building such as the "Albergo del Sole" (at the very beginning of Street of the Pantheon) counting amongst its guests Ariosto and Mascagni. For sure a smile will snatch you the Bernini's elephantine, in the neighbor square of Santa Maria above Minerva, almost a
toy, overhung by an obelisk that it faces the ancient Dominican church.
From Square of the Rotonda, in one minute you will reach square Montecitorio dominated by the characteristic convex façade of sketch berniniano and the airy sailshaped bell tower of the Montecitorio building, from the 1871 Chamber of the Deputies. To the shoulders, crossing the perimeter of the Building, you will have the surprise to find yourself to a big building of travertino and bricks, amplification of the Chamber of Deputies seat owed to Basile, known exponent of the Italian style liberty.
