Quick facts about Rome
The Eternal City, as Rome is know, is a city like no other. Founded almost 3000 years ago, throughout the century it evolved into a crossroad for commerce, a center of power, an international cultural hub, to become a vibrant city, sophisticated and chic.
Location
Ancient Rome was build on seven hills on both shores of the Tiber river, in central Italy, not far from the Tyrrhenian Sea. Its location contributes to the nice weather, with pleasant temperature and sunny days for many months every year.
Industries
Rome hosts the national government and many national and international institutions. Economy is mostly dominated by services, hi-tech companies, banking, and especially tourism. The latter has a huge impact on the city, as every year millions of tourists and pilgrims visit Rome and the Vatican City (in the center of Rome), creating a massive volume of revenue.

Rome is very attractive to investors in the real estate business, with a steady demand of premium properties in the last years. The hospitality industry at all levels is also lucrative all year round, due to the ever-growing cultural and religious tourism.
