Rome and the Vatican
Rome is the capital of Italy and also its largest city. It has a long and
fascinating history, spanning over 2,500 years and going back to the days
when it was the centre of the Roman Empire. It lies on the west coast of
Italy, on the River Tiber and in the Lazio region of the country. Rome is
also home to Vatican City, an independent state within Rome headed by
the Bishop of Rome (the Pope).
