I am very glad to have you visiting my blog! As I said in the first post, I went to Italy with my parents in June, and it was my first trip to Europe. So,I decide to choose Italy as my e-portfolio topic.I hope my blog will not make you feel boring.

In my blog, you will first read a brief history of Italy(Roman Times).Then,I will show you the beautiful photos of the most famous historical legacies in Rome such as Coliseum,Trevi Fountain and St Peter church and tell you their histories afterwards. Besides, you can also watch the videos of Coliseum and St.Peter church.

At last, I will express my feeling for Rome and respond to your comments .

I already mentioned that I went to Italy during the mid-term break in June in my last post. Some of my news friends are very interested in where I visited in Rome. I attached two of the photos in Rome to this post. They were taken on 25 and 26 of June at 'Paizza Navona' . As you can see, there are no skyscrapers in the pictures as well as in Rome. Let me tell the history of 'Paizza Navona'. 'Piazza Navona' is a city square in Rome, It follows the plan of an ancient Roman circus, the first century Stadium of Domitian, where the Romans came to watch the agones ("games"). It was known as 'Circus Agonalis' (competition arena). It is thought that over time the name changed to 'in agone' to 'navone' and eventually to 'navona'. Besides, the obelisk behind me is called ' Agonalis' , it is 30m height. It was made in Rome as copy of ancient Egyptian original in 1651 by Bernini, who was a pre-eminent Baroque sculptor and architect of 17th century Rome.
