“When I am at Rome I fast as the Romans do; when I am at Milan I do not fast. So likewise you, whatever church you come to, observe the custom of the place, if you would neither give offence to others, nor take offence from them.”
“Every one soon or late comes round by Rome.”
“The traveler who has contemplated the ruins of ancient Rome may conceive some imperfect idea of the sentiments which they must have inspired when they reared their heads in the splendor of unsullied beauty.”
“Never before has any city in the world had so a wonderful adventure. Its history is so big that even the huge crimes it is littered with look tiny. Maybe one of the troubles of Italy is exactly this: to have a capital city that is disproportionate, for name and past history, to the modesty of a people that, when shouting "go for it, Rome!", is only referring to a football team.”
“Septem urbs alta jugis, toti quæ præsidet orbi.”
“The teacher reminded us that Rome's liberties were not auctioned off in a day, but were bought slowly, gradually, furtively, little by little; first with a little corn and oil for the exceedingly poor and wretched, later with corn and oil for voters who were not quite so poor, later still with corn and oil for pretty much every man that had a vote to sell—exactly our own history over again.”

Ciudad del Vaticano —el país más pequeño del mundo y sede de la Iglesia Católica mundial bajo el gobierno de la Santa Sede— es un país independiente dentro de los límites municipales de Roma, el único ejemplo existente de un país dentro de una ciudad. Roma es a menudo referida como la "Ciudad de las Siete Colinas" debido a su geografía, y también como la "Ciudad Eterna". Roma es generalmente considerada como una de las cunas de la civilización occidental y la cultura cristiana occidental, y el centro de la Iglesia Católica.
