» A stroll through downtown Rome is enough to understand why the city earned the title of "Eternal City", and how well deserved it is. Its many and deep layers of history coexist together, overlapping in a harmonious whole. This historical stratification is invaluable for scholars, unique for the city's proud inhabitants, and fascinating for tourists from all over the world. For more than two thousand years the capital of Italy has offered an example of awe-inspiring continuity, of thriving splendour, and of a profound and diverse artistic richness. Now this city has offered to host the 2030 World Expo.
