1. Natale di Roma
According to legend, Rome was founded by Romulus on April 21, 753 BC and the city continues to mark its date of birth with a series of festivities and events, including concerts, a parade and historical reenactments at Circo Massimo. Events vary widely (this year, Rome’s birthday falls on Easter, for instance) but you can expect fireworks and gladiators on display in the city centre.
