Rome was the capital of Italy and the country's largest and most populous city. Rome's history as a city spans over two and a half thousand years, as one of the founding cities of Western Civilisation. It was the centre of the Roman Empire.

Vatican City was a landlocked sovereign city-state whose territory consists of a walled enclave within the city of Rome, the capital city of Italy. At approximately 44 hectares (110 acres), and with a population of around 900, it was the smallest country in the world by both area and population.

A sober fountain commissioned by Pope Urban VIII and designed by Gian Lorenzo Bernini.It looks like a broken boat.
