Colors of My Heart

■ Roman Holiday

"Roman Holiday." is one of my favorite movies.
I have always wanted to visit this place, and I finally got the chance to make that dream a reality. 

I was deeply moved to be able to visit places I had only seen in the movie, such as the Spanish Steps, the Trevi Fountain, and the Colosseum. My visits to there  took place at night, but they became wonderful memories for me. I found myself wondering if this was the spot where Princess Anne ate gelato and where Joe tried to borrow a camera from a student. I was also overwhelmed by the Colosseum, which was built over 2,000 years ago. Although my time there was limited, it became an unforgettable memory.

​​​​Next time, I would like to visit slowly with my family.









■ Spanish Steps

At the top of the Spanish Steps is the Church of Trinità dei Monti, and the official name of the Spanish Steps is also the Trinità dei Monti Stairs, just like the church.

■ Fontana di Trevi

The Trevi Fountain (Fontana di Trevi) is one of the most famous Baroque fountains in Rome, built in the 18th century. At its center stands a statue of Neptune, the god of the sea, and it once served as the endpoint of an ancient aqueduct. A popular legend among tourists says that throwing a coin into the fountain ensures a return to Rome, with millions of euros collected annually for charity.

The nighttime illumination created a magical and romantic atmosphere, making the experience truly unforgettable.

■ Pantheon
​

The Pantheon, an architectural marvel of ancient Rome, was originally built as a temple dedicated to all the gods. The structure standing today is a reconstruction commissioned by Emperor Hadrian between 118 and 125 AD, replacing the original temple built by Agrippa in 27 BC, which was destroyed by fire. In 609 AD, the Pantheon was converted into a Christian church, a function it continues to serve to this day.

The most striking feature of this masterpiece is its massive dome, measuring approximately 43.3 meters in diameter. At its center lies the oculus, an open aperture that allows natural light to pour into the vast interior. The grand portico at the entrance is lined with sixteen Corinthian columns, evoking the elegance of Greek architecture. Constructed using advanced Roman concrete techniques, the Pantheon has stood for nearly two millennia, a testament to the ingenuity and engineering prowess of ancient Rome.

■ Colosseum

​The Colosseum is a massive ancient Roman amphitheater located in Rome, Italy. It was constructed between 70 and 80 AD under the orders of the emperors of the Flavian dynasty. With a diameter of 188 meters and a height of 48 meters, it could accommodate between 50,000 and 70,000 spectators. Primarily used for public entertainment, such as gladiatorial contests, it stood as a symbol of the power and grandeur of ancient Rome. During the Middle Ages, parts of the structure collapsed due to earthquakes and looting, but today, it remains a popular tourist attraction.
