There is something magical about the deep, rich history that permeates Rome. At every turn there is a juxtaposition of the ancient with the modern and I cannot help but do a double take. In 2012, I was fortunate to go with my mom on an Italian guided tour that included Rome, Florence and Venice. Breathtaking and unforgettable. I look forward to going back one day.
