Delta Virtual is proud to present our next community event, taking us to beautiful Rome, Italy. Once the capital of the ancient Roman Empire, Rome represents the beauty of yesterday’s as well as today’s world, through its inspiring architecture and cultural centers. Join us as we depart from Europe’s 8th busiest airport, Rome–Fiumicino “Leonardo da Vinci” International.
Along the shores of the Tiber River lies Rome, the capital of Italy, it is highly regarded as the first-ever imperial city and metropolis. Often called “Caput Mundi” or Capital of the World, Rome’s 2 millennia history is one of the longest in Europe. Beyond the bones of an ancient empire lies a bustling metropolis.
Rome is the third most populous city in the European Union (EU), with over 4.3 million residents. Rome is most notable for its awe-inspiring architecture and historical sites. In 2019, Rome was the 11th most visited city in the world with 10.1 million tourists, the third most visited in the European Union, and the most popular tourist destination in Italy. Famous sites include the Pantheon, St. Peter’s Basilica, Sistine Chapel in Vatican City, and the Roman Colosseum. Today, Rome has become an influential center of fashion and design through several renowned international brands calling the city home and Rome’s major movie studio, Cinecittà Studios, having been the set of multiple Academy Award-winning movies. The city’s beauty is echoed across the streets, fountains, and plazas; clearly there is a lot to love in beautiful Rome!
