Rome

The City of Rome, or simply known as Rome is the capital of modern-day Italy. It is also the capital and largest city in the region of Lazio, and the geographical region of Latium. It is near the Tiber River and has a population of 2.8 million. An estimate by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) put the number of people of the city area of Rome at 3.47 million.[5] When the Roman Empire was new, Rome was called the Eternal City because it was already very old.

Rome is well known for serving as the historical "home" of the Catholic Church, and its "leader," the Pope. He lives in the Vatican City, which is an enclave in the north-western Rome.
