Colosseum (Piazza del Colosseo)
The Colosseum (also known as the Roman Colosseum) is one of the greatest buildings of the Roman era, and one of the best-preserved circular coliseums. It is located in the southeast of Piazza Venezia. The Colosseum is one of the world's eight most famous sights and a symbol of the Roman Empire. This huge amphitheater is called the Flavio Theater because it was built by several emperors of the Flavio family. Often, it is called the Colosseum. The Colosseum looks like a huge bunker, covering an area of 20,000 square meters, with a wall circumference of 527 meters, a diameter of 188 meters, and a wall height of 57 meters, which is equivalent to the height of a 19-storey modern building, and the arena can accommodate 107,000 spectators. Like all Roman buildings, its basic structure is an arch structure, a series of arches, vouchers and the proper arrangement of the oval building components to make the whole building extremely strong. This was the venue used in those days for animal fights, English athletics, horse races, theater, and song and dance performances. This majestic building is a model of architecture. It is a magnificent structure built on an alcove. In the time of Nero, this alcove was an artificial lake in the garden of Nero's Golden Temple.
Work on the Colosseum was begun by Emperor Vespasiano in 72-75 A.D. and completed by Emperor Tito in 80 A.D. The building was constructed with the help of a large number of men and women. Tradition says that 40,000 slaves were used to construct the building, part of the 100,000 captives Emperor Tito brought back to Rome in 70 A.D. after destroying Jerusalem. The main use of the Colosseum, which could hold at least 50,000 spectators, was for animal fights and gladiator jousting. These events were varied and well-equipped and, more than any other, aroused the passions and frenzy of a large audience that was particularly fond of brutal spectacles. Among the many performances, the first to be remembered was the celebration of the completion of the arena, which lasted one hundred days, killing five thousand beasts and hundreds of gladiators. During the reign of Turazin, the total **** killed 11,000 beasts and 10,000 gladiators fought here. During Probo's reign, one hundred lion cubs were put into the arena at the same time during one fight alone, and their roar shook the entire arena. Yet more gladiator fights. It is hard to believe that people were so fascinated by these brutal fights, especially women. In these brutal fights, only those who had won a certain number of times could go free. The arena was used for gladiatorial and animal fighting until 608 AD, when it was converted into a castle during the Middle Ages. It was then partially destroyed and became a site for digging up building materials to construct churches and palaces. The destruction continued for centuries and was only halted in the 19th century, when several popes began restoring it, as evidenced by the replacement bricks.
This majestic building is a model of architecture. Like all Roman buildings, it is basically a vaulted structure, with a series of arches, coupons and appropriately arranged elliptical building elements that make the building extremely strong.

Designed by the sculptor Bonanno Pisano, there is also a round baptistery and a bell tower, forming a group of buildings that are typical of Italian Romanesque architecture.

Sicilia
"If you don't go to Sicily, it's as if you haven't been to Italy: for it's in Sicily that you will find the source of Italy's beauty," is the sentence Gus wrote on April 13, 1787, when he arrived in Palermo, his first visit to Italy in search of the roots of Western culture. The first time he came to Italy. Indeed, the largest island in the Mediterranean Sea and the largest province in Italy is indeed an ingenious piece of land, where fascinating natural landscapes and humanistic landscapes are harmoniously blended, as evidenced by the people who have inhabited it from ancient times to the present day: Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Arabs, Normans, Swabians, Spaniards, etc., whose cultures have already been imprinted here. Their culture has been imprinted here.

Both the east coast and the west coast are full of fruitful orange groves, lemon orchards and large tracts of olive groves.

Verona
It is not uncommon for a city to be recognized for a famous book by a famous person, but Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet was different in that it not only raised Verona's profile immensely, but also miraculously changed the city's position in people's minds. This ancient city on the United Nations World Heritage List, in my opinion, its greatest contribution to the world is not for having the third largest surviving amphitheater in the world, neither the old bridge over the river Adigo, the medieval castle and walls, nor the 12th century masterpiece of Romanesque architecture, the Basilica of San Zeno, but a fictionalized love story. I think it must be a very romantic thing to take your lover to Verona, where Romeo and Juliet once lived and loved, to make a pilgrimage of love together today, more than ten centuries after the story.
Verona is located in northern Italy, is a medium-sized Italian city with a population of 250,000 people, it is north of the Alps, west of the economic town of Milan, east of the water city of Venice, south of the capital of Rome, from the geographic location, it is considered to be the best military strongholds, with many ancient cities in Italy, Verona also has a long history, the city is still preserved from the ancient times, the Middle Ages until the Renaissance a large number of The city still retains a large number of monuments from antiquity, the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, as well as a well-preserved Colosseum. Throughout the long years, this small town with its history of hatred and war has been regarded as a military town and a historical city.
Tenderness and romance had nothing to do with it, and were even far from it. However, since the end of the 16th century, Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet came out, especially since the beginning of the 1930s, the United States Hollywood and Italian filmmakers many times this famous play on the screen, Verona in the hearts of the world's people, no longer an ordinary ancient city, no longer full of hatred and blood of military towns, it became a romantic city, into the hearts of young people love mecca.
For most travelers who come to Verona, there is only one place in Verona that attracts them the most, that is, Juliet's former residence and its mysterious balcony.
It is said that if you touch Juliet's left breast, you will have good luck in love. ......
