			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In Roman times, the huge volume of Castel S. Angelo seemed very different from what we see today: wanted and probably designed by the emperor Hadrian as a mausoleum for the family, was a huge cylinder, about 65 meters in diameter, covered with travertine marble and covered with thick trees vegetation, the center of which is raised a cylinder smaller, more or less as expected, the most ancient mausoleum of Augustus &#8211; the remains of which can be seen today in Piazza Augusto Imperatore, next all&#8217;Ara Pacis.<span id="more-163"></span> It is surrounded by numerous sculptures, and a crown, there was the bronze statue of the emperor, perhaps as the sun. Begun in 123 was completed under Antoninus Pius, and served as the imperial tomb to Caracalla, who was killed in 217.</p>
<p>Over time, the mausoleum is open to different functions: it was transformed by Aurelian in 271, in a fortified outpost, and incorporated by walls which opened the door then that of St. Peter &#8211; who, in medieval times, allowing the connection to the tomb of. It was used as a fortress, both from the barbarians who, later, the Pope, when he became the defensive cornerstone of the district of Borgo. Became the impregnable garrison of the papal power, received the papal apartments, there were made of angular bastions and a pentagonal outer wall. In 1277 he was made a pass overhead, called &#8216;Passetto Borgo&#8217; which joined the Vatican walls, giving the Pope a speedy and safe escape route.</p>
<p>The building was also used as a prison, since the Middle Ages. Its cells, dark and damp, housed prisoners distinguished &#8211; as Benvenuto Cellini, Giordano Bruno, Cagliostro. In the courtyards were beheaded for the executions, while the cells are dying of hunger or torture.</p>
<p>After the birth of the Italian State, the fortress was turned into barracks. Finally, today is open and hosts the National Museum of Castel S. Angel.</p>
<p>With the restoration dell&#8217;Ottocento we lost the original relationship of continuity with the river and the bridge was restored and placed in ditches garden spaces adjacent, newly transformed by a recent comprehensive revision of the area. The current amount of the Castle incorporates largely structures originate. A side of the central square tower develop the papal apartments, the Renaissance, which open on the Tiber, with its splendid marble loggia of Julius II. Upstairs, in the eighteenth century, the rooms were built for the vicecastellano and was placed on the terrace, the famous statue that dell&#8217;arcangelo Michele rinfodera sword. The statue, from which the castle derives its name, wants to remember the ancient legend in which the terrible plague of 590 ended thanks to the appearance of an angel above the castle, and with the gesture of the sheathed sword, granted the pardon.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>About the county</p>
<p>Italy, the birthplace of pasta and pizza provides a wide range of choices for artwork lovers to experience. A temperate climate exists here with very hot summers and not so cold winters. The weather is the best in spring and autumn with pleasant temperatures and scenic views. At that time of the year, the place isn’t crowded much and things can be enjoyed in leisure. Incase of emergency call 112. For fire call 115 and for ambulance call 118.</p>
<p>Culture</p>
<p>Italian is widely spoken and is the official language. English isn’t very familiar to the locals. Family ties are of utmost importance here and hence social courtesies mean a lot to the locals. There is a great impact of the Roman Catholic Church on the culture here. There is a high content of chlorine in tap waters, so bottled water is recommended for staying fit during the trip. Since Italian is spoken on a wide scale, it is highly recommended to learn few common Italian phrases which can be of great use. Social gatherings call for formal wear, but one can dress in casuals otherwise. At some religious places, sleeveless shirt and shorts are frowned upon. So they are better avoided. Purses and wallets should be well guarded and in case of any theft, police should be informed about the incident. <span id="more-17"></span></p>
<p>Site Seeing</p>
<p>The first thing to check out is the leaning tower of Pisa, where Olympics originated. At places like museums and art galleries, photography, especially flash photography is restricted. Check out the ticket counter for more information. Italy should be majorly discovered on foot for a thorough viewing of all the beautiful buildings and monuments. Coaches and trains are a good option to get to a tourist spot.</p>
<p>Shopping</p>
<p>Shops here are open from 9am to 8pm, closed for lunch. Quality of goods is great although the prices are very less. Items like crystals, lacework, leather good, and jewelry can be bought at the stores. Remember to hold on to the receipt. Tipping of 10% is customary along with the service tax levied on the bill. Italy is famous for top designers of the world, so do buy clothes and accessories to update your wardrobe. Cruises have formal gatherings in the evening, so ensure to buy a cocktail dress or some formal wear, though casuals can be worn at other times.</p>
<p>Electricity</p>
<p>The voltage used is 220 volts and 50 Hz frequency.</p>
<p>Getting there</p>
<p>Alitalia is the national airline of Italy. Many other flights connect to Italy from USA, Canada and Australia and there is big competition to attract passengers giving a wide range of offers to travelers. Rome airport is located 26 km away from the city and it takes 45 minutes to get there from the airport. Trains connect directly to Termini Station from where one can take taxi to get to their destination. Duty free shops, bank, car hire and restaurants are the other services provided at this airport. Milan has another famous airport here, which is at a distance of 45km away from the city.</p>
<p>Brindisi, Ancona, Naples and Venice are the major seaports of Italy. Italian State Railways connects many European cities. But, Eurostar provides the fastest train service.</p>
<p>If choosing to drive, don’t forget to carry international driving license and international insurance certificate. Roads connect Italy to France, Austria and Switzerland. Many coach services are provided from the neighboring countries.</p>
<p>Duty Free Items</p>
