                         From its early times, recorded in the History Book by Cronos , surrounded by mystery and myths, up to its last leader, Rome, the protagonist of the history of antiquity, is the creator of a brilliant civilization and of an exquisite cultural tradition, where many peoples find, today, the origins of their own identity.

                        Good architects and engineers combined the needs of human beings with the qualities of intellect and imagination, as well as technical expertise, to create functional structures that are also works of art.

                        Deeply concerned with the supply of water for the cities, the Romans succeeded, after long  trials and hard work, to transport water from its mountain spring to the place where it was used.
