FILM. The celluloid magic of Rome (by Sabina Zambon)
Rome has often been described as an open-air museum but its picturesque majesty and theatricality also lend themselves to providing an excellent film set.

COMMUNITY. The smiling face of Piazza Vittorio (by Justine Bothwick)
Two days before Christmas 2009, 350 people gathered in Piazza Vittorio in the Esquilino district of Rome for a community photo.
