Rome, which is pronounced in "Italia" as "Roma" is the capital city of "Italy". Rome basically is Italy's largest and a populous city. It is termed as populated because of the fact that Rome itself is home to over 2.7 million people.

Rome is one of the cities of the world which has a rich history, and literature. And because of its richness in history, monuments and ancient places like museums which itself tells each and every chapter of the history, Rome is ranked as the world's third most visited tourist place.
