Hello, I am going to travel to Italy.
I want to go to Finland, but I will do it later.
Today I am planning a trip.
I dream of eating real Italian spaghetti carbonara. I should walk near to the Colosseum. I should cycle along the streets of Rome
I think, Rimini will be the first city of my trip. I want to visit Italy in miniature in the city`s park. Here I can see a lot of Italy`s architectural miracles. I think we will not spend a lot of time in Rimini. Possibly I will go to the sea and just walk on the shore. It will be good to see the city in the evening.
I have a route, which I am doing in Google Map. It`s so convenient.

Rimini has a lot of historical places, like a square where Cesar made a speech. (49 B.C.) I should see it.
Next place can be Tivoli. Here we can see Adrian`s villa. It`s the residence of the emperor. It was built in 118-134 A.D.
After Tivoli we will go to Rome. Here I should see:
the Colosseo,
the Pantheon,
the Villa Borghese,
the Vatican City,
the Basilica of Saint Peter.
The Colosseo`s building was completed in 80 A.D. For a long time the Coliseum was the main place of entertainment spectacles, like a combat of gladiators, the beast`s hunting, the naval battles.
The Pantheon (the temple of all gods) it`s a monument of architecture, it was built in the II century.
The Villa Borghese has the zoo and the racecourse.
The Vatican is the smallest state in the world.
The Basilica of Saint Peter is the largest Christian church in the world.
The continuation will be soon!
