Roman Colosseum (Colosseo) at dusk

The Flavius amphitheatre is the biggest and most imposing in the Roman world, but is also the most famous monument in Rome and is known as the “Colosseum” or “Coliseum”. Started by Emperor Vespasian of the Flavia family, it was opened by his son Titus in 80 A.D. http://www.italyguides.it/us/roma/colosseum.htm

Italia  – Let’s Go!  Part 3 concludes the Italia – Let’s go series.  All of the pictures in the post “Italia – an Il Volo Flight Crew Special Feature” have been identified.  As this series of Italia comes to a close, I am not exactly sure where we will travel next, there are unlimited possibilites. We may hop around Italia as if we are on a private jet and can go anywhere we want at a moments notice.  Won’t this be fun!

Soon though, we will travel to Assisi where Il Volo recently performed in Rai’s Concerto di Natale at the Basilica di San Francesco. Assisi, a medieval city built on a hill, is the birthplace of Saint Francis and according to Rick Steves’s “The Basilica di San Francesco is one of the artistic highlights of medieval Europe.” http://www.ricksteves.com/plan/destinations/italy/0400basilicatour.htm
