The Ancient City Of Rome | The Greatest Cities in the World | TRACKS

The eternal city is more than 2,500 years old and Griff has just 24 hours to discover how Rome's inhabitants live in the world's biggest museum. In the process he discovers where Julius Caesar gasped his last, and takes lessons in traffic direction from the city's most elegant policeman.

    At 3:49. I was not expecting that. Or maybe I was since this is Italy, and Rome no less. He's so graceful, so balletic. Only in Rome would a traffic cop make the guiding of cars and heavy traffic so poetic, so ornate and pretty. Truly an artist at work here. LOL...

    At 37:11. Yeah, that's one of those hard and fast rules you NEVER break in Italy--ordering a cappuccino after 12 pm or with a meal. I had a friend who worked with international clients, and he said that when he traveled to Milan and ordered a cappuccino at 1 pm during lunch, the clients all stopped eating and looked at him sternly while the waiter gasped and nodded his head, "no." That's when my friend realized he had committed the worst faux pas imaginable. It dawned on him, "Oh, you don't order a cappuccino at this time."

    At 31:12. LOL. I love that THAT is the view that the Mayor has from his office. Damn. Politicians in Rome have the best offices. I've seen where the French Embassy in Rome is located--a dream. The same with the major officeholders in the Vatican who are not the Pope. No wonder no politician in Rome wants to give up his office, if these are the perks...
