Churches in rome

Church of St. Catherine the Great Martyr in Rome

Church of St. Catherine the Great Martyr - the current Orthodox shrine of modern times in Rome, subordinated to the Moscow Patriarchate. Located on the territory of the residence of the Embassy of the Russian Federation. The temple of Catherine is already interesting by the very fact of existence - the center of the Russian Orthodox faith in the heart of the papal Catholic diocese.
Italian cheeses

Fiore Sardo Cheese - Sardinia Flower

Perhaps the most romantic name in the Italian food world is Fiore Sardo, which means "Flower of Sardinia." He adorns Sardinian tables for many hundreds of years. It is prepared only on the island and exclusively from sheep’s milk. Now we will write for you a portrait of this amazing cheese with the colors of words.
Italy

The Baths of Caracalla

The terms of Caracalla were erected on a large scale. This is evident in the scale of the ruins. It is interesting to simply walk around the complex and try to imagine how everything looked here before. I recommend visiting them in the summer, during the opera festival. Terme di Caracalla, photo by MJAB Terma: bathhouse, club, stadium, beauty salon, concert hall I don’t know if it is permissible to apply the epithet “greats” to public baths.
Trip planning

Time zone and time in Italy

When planning a trip to the Apennines, in addition to exploring the route and attractions, do not forget to specify the time zone of Italy and the time difference with the area where you live permanently. This information will not only save you from being late for breakfast at the hotel, but also save you from other possible misunderstandings.
Story

Caesar's Death, Before and After - Issue 9

In their last issue, Roman politicians, in their intrigues and debates, jumped to the point where Mark Anthony, Octavian and Lepidus, who joined them, came to the capital with the army and took away by force what could not be obtained by persuasion. The educated triumvirate quickly dashed off a completely legal justification of his own existence, which distinguishes him from the first version of the “council of three”, a sample of Caesar, Pompey and Crassus - there were no laws on its creation, and formally this meeting of respected people was nothing more than an ordinary friendly party .
Italy

Vittorio Veneto

Vittorio Veneto Street is an elegant, secular, respectable street of modern Rome. I recommend for leisurely walks at any time of the day and at any time of the year. It is on it that the famous Hard Rock Cafe is located, it is here where you can feel the bohemian life that some inhabitants of the city lead.
