Enogastronomic tour Cradle of the western civilization and heart of the Christianity, Rome is the richest city for masterpieces of the world. Under a sky of a wonderful purity, the tolling of hundreds of bells breaks off the silence of its majestic and ancient monuments, of the grip and shady narrow lanes of the centre, of the hidden little squares with the gushing fountains, of the green gardens, of the dumb and enigmatic people of its thousands of marble statues. The extraordinary richness of the artistic, historical and religious patrimony, the busy markets, the ancient gastronomical traditions, and the “sweet life”, make the “Eternal City” one of the main destinations of international tourism. Enogastronomy is born by the union between food with wine. The wine in fact is the only drink that is able to binding together itself to a dish, exalting it. It is not, therefore, a drink like all the others, the more or less thirst-quencing, more or less pleasant but, thanks to its extraordinary wealth of elements, it succeeds also to enrich, to complete, and to exalt a culinary speciality. In whichever part of the world, but those countries with anti-alcoholic laws, the refined consumer, the gourmet, accompanies wine to the gastronomical specialities.
