The city of Rome has more than 2,000 years of history (assumed to have been founded on April 21, 753 BC) and it is full of ancient, or very old (historic) buildings, churches and monuments. The whole world knows the Colosseum, the Trevi Fountain and the Spanish Steps but strangely, there is a modern street which is as famous as the Romans, or maybe more: Via Vittorio Veneto – or as is said by most, simply, Via Veneto.

Via Veneto extends like a big snake from Piazza Barberini to Porta Pinciana, which is one of the entrances to Villa Borghese (Rome’s most beautiful and famous park).  The street was designed in the late 19th century, and its creation saw it wind through the grounds of what was once Villa Ludovisi.  Villa Ludovisi was built in the 17th century and, when we talk of “villa,” we imply a vast property including beautifully architected gardens and many buildings.
