Description
Nightfall on the Eternal City by Andrea Mazzocchetti
An incredible sunset is what we have before our eyes in the wonderful city of Rome, the Eternal City. The clouds thicken on the horizon while a little bit of light can emerge, illuminating the scene in part. The night is already descending on Rome and we see it light up from the Belvedere del Pincio, above Piazza del Popolo, with the majestic St. Peter's Basilica that stands out in the distance, like a real lighthouse in the dark. The Pincio (or Pinciano hill, from the Latin mons Pincius) is a hill of Rome. The hill is located north of the Quirinale, and overlooks the Campo Marzio. Several villas and gardens occupy the hill. From Piazzale Napoleone I, at the top of the hill, there is a wide view of Piazza del Popolo and the Prati district, which rises on those which, until the end of the 19th century, were the Prati di Castello.
The view also extends to the north on the Dome of St. Peter up to Monte Mario, to the north-west the Gianicolo, to the south-west at the bottom of the horizon the skyscrapers of EUR, making it one of the most scenic places in the capital. In some Italian cities there are panoramic parks that bear the name of Pincio, to remember that of Rome
