This is a great compilation of quotes about Rome. It’s easy to see why a city like Rome would be highly revered. It is one of those places that is on anyone’s bucket list for its history and culture. And it’s in mine too!
Reading through these it is surprising how many I use in regular language. Oh those Romans do love to inspire us. Thanks for sharing.
The gelato is calling my name! Rome is a city filled with history and architecture. I thought this one was interesting: Rome has not seen a modern building in more than 1/2 a century. It is a city frozen in time.
A wonderful collection of quotes about Rome! My favourite – even though it’s very cliche – is Rome wasn’t built in a day. Because I think it’s the one that we can all remind of ourselves through the daily grind when progress feels slow for whatever it is we might be trying to achieve. So yes, it’s very common and a well-known quote, but I think it is one to be reminded of frequently.
“Italy has changed but Rome is Rome” – LOVE that one! It’s so true. Who knew Robert de Niro could be so deep huh? Rome is one of my favourite cities so I really enjoyed reading these!
I know. LOL! I thought the same thing!
Wow! These are some great quotes. We cant agree more on ‘Rome is the capital of history, culture, religion’ there is much history and culture to explore in the city, every turn leads to something amazing. And yes we love Rome too and it does have a magical aura.
Great for daydreaming!
Nice collection of Rome Quotes you have here. The best one that I have heard to date – is the day Colosseum falls, the world will end. All roads lead to rome is a classic.
These quotes definitely inspire me to visit Rome! I especially love “Italy has changed. But Rome is Rome” because it really tells you that Rome still maintains its culture and hasn’t changed so I’d love to visit to see its history!
I love reading quotes, they have such inspirational message. Enjoyed reading your collections of Rome quotes. I like the “Rome has not seen a building in more than half a century. It is a city frozen in time”. It goes to show the city’s historic significance.
