There’s no denying that you can’t miss Rome, Italy's shining capital and home to centuries of awe-inspiring history that make any return visit just as special as the first.

Rocca Calascio: you are probably more familiar with it than you think. Its name may not ring any bell, but what if I mention Richard Donner’s iconic 1985 movie, Ladyhawke, with Michelle Pfeiffer, Rutger Hauer and Matthew Broderick? Who doesn’t remember the love between Isabeau of Anjou and Captain Etienne of Navarre, forced to live their existence...
