Founding 1 • Rome was founded by two twins named Romulus and Remus. • Their father was Mars (The God of war). • Their mother was Rhea Silvia. • They were kidnapped by their evil uncle Amulius and abandoned them on the River Tiber.
Founding 2 • As they flowed down the river a she-wolf picked them up and raised them for a few years.
Founding 3 • After Mars found them he asked them to build a city. • They started fighting over their ideas for the city and decided to fight to the death so that their problems would be solved. • In the end Romulus won and Remus was killed. • Rome was named after Romulus.
Colosseum • The Colosseum is not only the biggest tourist attraction in not just Rome but all of Italy. • A restoration project costing 25 million euro started in Winter of 2011 and is set to end in Summer of 2014.
Vatican • The Vatican is the home and church of the Pope. • It has its own country called the Vatican City.
