They call it “the Eternal City” and it almost is. Founded on April 21st 753 B.C., Rome is one of the oldest cities in the world and we would like you to join us in celebrating its birthday today! We call it “Natale di Roma” which means “Birth of Rome.” Both citizens and tourists are invited to the fest.
What to do? Last Sunday we already had a professional swimming tournament, ancient Roman dance exibition and a Roman poetry contest. Plus today the 21st, all the public museums will be free. The MACRO, Villa Torlonia Museum, Fori Imperiali, Ara Pacis and the Napoleonic Museum are just a few examples to mention.
What’s a birthday party without some music? Of course we are going to have it! The army bands will play in the Campidoglio and other 6 historical plazas, and the night at the Augusto Foro will be lit by the opera, orchestra and video performances.
Arts, music, culture and fun looks like the proper way to wish Rome a happy birthday. Just come to the party, your presence will be your present!
