Rome
Streets of the Eternal City
A city as old as Rome is bound to be a place of great diversity in street infrastructure and culture. As the largest and most historically prominent city in Italy, Rome lives up to the identity of an international city, and in various ways it has been one for millenniums. Over time the city of Rome has been constantly built over again and again, due to destruction, change in context, growth, and in general a long period of existence, warfare, and shifting politics. Much of the original ancient city (which itself changes greatly over the course of what we consider the period of ancient Rome) lies meters under the existing modern infrastructure. Rome itself is diverse in it’s life and people and has transcended national borders and cultures, which today can be seen in its streets.
