Rome is the city with the greatest number of historical edifices in the world, and is unique for its warm, quiet colours. The predominating hue is ochre, particularly in the baroque period buildings of the historical centre. This colour derives from a volcanic powder that has always been employed as plaster over the red clay bricks, but there are also countless other shades that range from a deep, rich, red, to a weathered, reddish-yellow. The best and more fascinating view of the city is enjoyed from the terrace on the Pincio Hill, where you can admire her from above, with her old ochre pantiles, faded or darkened by the passing of many centuries. - alberghi a roma rome hotels hotels roma
