BACKGROUND MAIN MENU Italy became a nation-state in 1861 when
the regional states of the peninsula, along with Sardinia and
Sicily, were united under King Victor EMMANUEL II. An era of
parliamentary government came to a close in the early 1920s when
Benito MUSSOLINI established a Fascist dictatorship. His alliance
with Nazi Germany led to Italy's defeat in World War II. A
democratic republic replaced the monarchy in 1946 and economic
revival followed. Italy is a charter member of NATO and the
European Economic Community (EEC). It has been at the forefront of
European economic and political unification, joining the Economic
and Monetary Union in 1999. Persistent problems include sluggish
economic growth, high youth and female unemployment, organized
crime, corruption, and economic disparities between southern Italy
and the more prosperous north.

visit to Rome is complete without seeing its magnificent Colosseum,
a vast amphitheater with seating for more than 50,000, that was
designed as a horse racing circuit and arena for animal fighting
and gladiatorial battles. After its completion, spectacular 100-day
celebrations were organized as part of the opening ceremony in 80
CE. Its name is believed to come from Emperor Nero's enormous
statue of Colossus that stood close by.

Fontana di Trevi MAIN MENU TOURISM MENU POINT OF INTEREST MENU
Tradition has it that throwing a coin over your left shoulder into
the fountain guarantees a swift return to the world's most
beautiful city. Anita Ekberg's dip in it was immortalized in
Federico Fellini's La Dolce Vita, and Italian actor Toto even sold
it to an American, passing himself off as its owner. Earlier,
Fontana di Trevi was the setting for the award-winning Three Coins
in the Fountain motion picture, ensuring its popularity worldwide.
Designed by Nicola Salvi for Pope Clemente XII, it was completed in
the second half of the 18th Century. The statues in the center
represent Neptune supported by Tritons on either side while
rococo-style Poli Palace provides the perfect backdrop.
Slide 19
Pantheon MAIN MENU TOURISM MENU POINT OF INTEREST MENU
Commissioned by Marcus Agrippa, restored by Domitian, and
subsequently rebuilt by Hadrian (who added the dome), the Pantheon
was turned into a church in the early 7th Century by Pope Boniface
IV. The building's sole source of light is the opening at the
dome's apex (the oculus); according to popular legend, this formed
the base for the bronze pine cone that is now in the Vatican's
Pigna courtyard, where it is used as a fountain. Many famous
Italians are buried in the Pantheon, including Renaissance painter
Raphael and King Vittorio Emanuele I
