Rome: Ancient Glory

Rick Steves' Europe Travel Guide © 2012 | Part one of three shows on the Eternal City, this episode resurrects the rubble and brings back to life the capital of the ancient world. Focusing on the grandeur of classical Rome, we'll admire the groundbreaking architecture at the Colosseum and Pantheon, and the empire's exquisite art at the Capitoline Museum. Then we'll head out on a bike ride along the ancient Appian Way and take in nearby marvels of Roman engineering.

    Cruising with Rick during the pandemic, this brought back memories of a particular trip to Rome during the ATP tour. I still remember the vibrancy of holding this athletic contest close to the ancient Coliseum, the exuberance and friendly welcome of the crowds, the WINES! and the food stalls along the area as we entered. While this is the Italian Open, it is called the "Rome Open." While it is played on clay courts, sports writers refer to the French Open as the only one played on clay. Not to knock the French Open, it is in a city with a rude, expensive environment --and thin sour wines, (I stil l harbor some resentment over my first visit to Paris in 1950. The taxi driver did not give me change and pretended not to understand me. I sat until the doorman came out, and got the change. Five years after the war in which one of my cousins landed on Omaha Beach (D-day + 2).and 25 years after my father was wounded whille patrolling for German submarines in the North Atlantic.
