Rome, historic city and capital of Roma provincia (province), of Lazio regione (region), and of the country of Italy. For well over a millennium, Rome controlled the destiny of all civilization known to Europe, but then it fell into dissolution and disrepair.
Rome’s hot, dry summer days, with high temperatures often above 75 °F (24 °C), are frequently cooled in the afternoons by the ponentino, a west wind that rises from the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Among the smart shops along the Corso are churches, palaces, and the column of Marcus Aurelius. San Marco was the first of Rome’s parish churches to be built (c. 336 ce) on the plan of a Classical basilica (a public hall in pre-Christian Rome). The present church, third on the site, dates from the 9th century and was restored in the 15th by the Venetian pope Paul II, who also built a new papal residence, the Palazzo Venezia (“Venetian Palace”), near the church. Thereafter, the basilica’s priest was always a Venetian cardinal, sharing the palace with the Venetian embassy. Mussolini had his headquarters in the Palazzo Venezia and harangued the crowds from the balcony from which Paul II had cheered the carnival races and given his papal benediction. The palace is now an art museum and contains the Biblioteca dell’Istituto Nazionale d’Archeologia e Storia dell’Arte (Library of the National Institute of Archaeology and Art History).
