When in Rome, it is said, one should do as the Romans do.

And that is exactly what citizens of the Eternal City did this weekend as they took a step back in time to celebrate the 2,766th birthday of the capital.

Each year the streets become a stage for troupes of actors dressed as denizens of the ancient city, as they mark the legendary foundation of the Birth of Rome.

The pagan Roman calendar is the best in the world. Fuck the Hebrew and Chinese calendars. Their years are phony... and we don't even know what year Jesus was born or died, so the Christian calendar is nonsense too.

Then again, my post inadvertently gives credence to the Islamic calendar as well.

Una buona canzona. Salvatori's song should be the anthem instead of Mameli's.

Esiste anche la versione ''gloriosa'' utilizzata durante il Ventennio Fascista
