Then To

For stop number 3 I have decided to go to Rome, Italy. Rome is the capital city in Italy. Its longitude is is 41ºN ands its latitude is 12ºE. Rome is in the continent of Europe which is right next to Asia. In the summer in Rome it is usually about 86ºF but in the winter it is a much cooler 55ºF. Rome is the 52nd richest country by GDP. Rome has the largest airport in Italy and has the vast majority of major Italian companies. Rome’s human-environment interaction is good because many of Italy’s exports are food and not oil.

The population of Rome is approximately 2,777,979 people. Most people in Rome are Roman Catholic. There are about 900 churches in Rome and Rome’s main cathedral is Basilica of St. John Lateran. Football (soccer) is the most popular sport in Rome. The city hosted the final games of the 1934 and 1990 Fifa World Cup. These games took place at Stadio Olimpico, one of the largest in Europe, with a capacity of over 70,000. Also, Rome has the Colosseum which is the largest amphitheatre ever built in the Roman Empire. Lastly, Rome is one of the most important tourist destinations in the world.

Before I leave Rome I would like to see the Basilica of St. John Lateran cathedral. This is Rome’s Cathedral and I would also like to see other churches in Rome, so I can learn about the religion in Rome. I would also like to see the remainders of the Colosseum before I leave Rome.
