Why looking for places to visit outside Rome when a lifetime is not enough visiting Rome?

Imperial villas, monuments, and parks were also widespread in what nowadays is called the metropolitan city of Rome. Here Popes and emperors built their sumptuous residences surrounded by what is necessary to make them livable.

Remains of aqueducts, thermal baths, amphitheaters, and parks swarm just outside Rome, in the metropolitan city of Rome and very few tourists but also many Romans are absolutely unaware of them.

Those who have had the opportunity to visit Rome will agree that sites such as P.zza Navona or the Vittoriano are certainly more fascinating than sites such as the Spanish steps mentioned among the 5 most beautiful sites to visit in Rome.
