Those who come from outside would dream of living there forever, those who are lucky enough to live there would like to go far away. But if Rome is the “eternal city” there must be a reason, e.g Alberto Angela he showed us with “Tonight in Rome“, the Christmas gift that Rai gave to all Italians.
The night journey beyond postcard Rome
On this nocturnal journey, the Capital is transformed into a stage where ancient and present history intertwine. From the Trinità dei Monti steps to the Colosseum, from the Pantheon to the Trevi Fountain, each stop reveals a Rome different from that of tourist postcards.

A Christmas wish that goes far beyond the celebration. It is in fact an invitation to rediscover our identity through the lens of art and culture. And with Alberto Angela it is much easier and simpler. As public service should always be.
