Didn't know that mnemonic - I'll try to remember that!! I absolutely love Rome but it's been many years since I was last there. If I recall, I went up a hill, on the other side of the Tiber, which gave you a great view of Rome and the Vatican. Then, if my memory serves me right, you can meander down to Trastevere. However, when I look on a map I can't seem to find that hill. I wonder if anyone has any ideas which hill that could be?

Love it. Took some back to uk but all 7 members of family hated it.

Why the fuck did Italy tear down statues for BLM? That was an American thing? This is some globalist shit

Your last statement is unfounded. In fact, the origin of the color seems to date back to June 20, 1366, when Amadeus VI of Savoy, before departing for a crusade called by Pope Urban V and organized to assist Byzantine Emperor John V Palaiologos, the maternal cousin of the Savoyard count, wanted a blue flag to wave on the flagship of the fleet of 17 ships and 2000 men, a Venetian galley, alongside the silver cross on a red background banner of Savoy. The color thus has a Marian implication, although it is not certain whether the use of blue banners can be attributed to Amadeus VI or is even earlier. In any case, the oldest documented Savoyard flags, dating back to 1589, feature the colors red, white (which are the colors of the dynasty's coat of arms), and blue. Over time, this latter color gained prominence until it became the national color of Italy.

Italy plays in azure (gli azzurri), France plays in blue (les bleus)

Blue is for good guys, red is for the baddies

Perhaps a video on the House of Savoy next?

While we're at it, why does Japan play in blue?

Because we don't destroy history

This is ridiculous , with other words you are a romanian migrant in italy who pretends to be italian and loves Romania , you hope that real italians will follow your example and start loving romania , we see this all over the west of European , eastern Europeans from soviet and communist countries pretend to be the same as western and southern Europeans , so they can fly under the radar and infiltrate those countries slowly .

U need better audio. Thanks for the vid, nonetheless, mate. Appreciate it..

I was literally in this tower yesterday...I didnt realize it was a reconstruction

Whereas in Israel, they've have put ancient mosaics on the walls high up, so that people can see them when they are arrive at Tel Aviv airport arrivals.

The same happened to Greetwell Villa here in Lincoln. It was discovered at the end of the 19th century, and was built over with a housing estate. It is now underneath the area in the east of Lincoln called 'Roman Pavement'. If you do an image search for "Greetwell Villa, Lincoln" you will see a layout and mosaics of the villa. It was likely owned by the Roman governor of Lincoln

It is the Swastika motive, simple.

Very Close To Where I Live. Great Video

It is plain Crazy.

Anyone who was a fan of “Detectorists” knows all too well how badly ancient historical finds are treated in the UK. Office blocks must be built! I live in Old Harlow, an area known for having been a large Roman settlement. Some of these have been preserved but most have been “covered” or concreted over. The remains of a medieval village has been covered and turned into a dog walking park. Fields belonging to Frederick Gibbard, who designed Harlow to be a town of intense housing with green lungs (now mostly built on) were sold to developers after his widow died. Talking to the archaeologists who came to explore the site it was clear that they believed it to be an unexplored treasure trove from various ages including Roman. They believed they could be working on the site for years but no. After six months we watched them pack up and the diggers move in. The site is now covered with badly built ugly houses and flats with hardly a garden between them owned by giant corporations who charge a fortune from those wanting to live in them.

It’s not a sad tale. It’s a typical tail. The mosaics should be available for everyone to see properly because it is our history. I don’t care who owns the land and I don’t care what roads have been built that should be protected and shown to the public.

I was lucky enough tp see this in 1973.

Maybe you know this, but we have a similar case in Rutland, where the discovery of a Roman mosaic depicting Hector's death in the Iliad was revealed in 2021. It is not far from the railway line somewhat southwest of the village of Ketton. After all the archeological work undertaken to reveal and document it was completed, this too was buried again under topsoil. One could reinstate the station at Luffenham and build a visitor centre over the mosaic; I know that plans to do this have been mooted. It's probably not wise to encourage motor traffic though. Why didn't you go the whole hog and call yourself la mia Italia? "Italy" falls flat on its nose.

Incredible !! but sadly true,

This is such a sad tale of the stupidity of the people in charge of our national heritage. How could the replica have been allowed to be sold If it is of national importance? Which I agree it is. Why the hell was it allowed to go to someone who wants to take it abroad, and worse, keep it for only their pleasure. Thanks for ruining my day (I'm joking).

What a story … Wow! Indeed a "forgotten" treasure. Thanks for another informative and entertaining vid. Next time in Sicily or even as an excuse to visit, check out Villa Romana del Casale near Piazza Armerina [en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Villa_Romana_del_Casale]. If you have just a vague appetite for mosaics this is one hell of a meal. It is also very accessible without any Britanic problems whatsoever to attend and enjoy the artisanship, grandeur and substance of the Roman Empire.

As much as I understand the issue surrounding the traffic, this is a very English tale of how not to handle a great national treasure. So sad that we can't all enjoy it.

People scream about America doing this to the Japanese which was awful. I never knew the Scottish and English did this to the Italians or Tallys as they called them. Sad.

I was recently at Sicily and was very surprised with all the wall art I saw from him, especially in Palermo.

Wojciech 😂

Another great video from La Mia Italy! Well done! 😃👍🏽

Tânărul împărat roman Gaius Germanicus zis Caligula,a știut să își trăiască viața pe bune!Ca orice împărat roman, îi plăceau femeile proaste, destrăbălate 🤣! Îmi închipui ce stricate aducea pe Lacul Nemi! Păcat că a fost asasinat!

Thank you so much for this information. Very interesting!

Hannibal was a badass until Scipio spoiled his fun.

Thank you for your video. I just discovered that some members of past family took a cruise on this said ship. I have photos of the passenger liner departing from Southampton in September 1937. I am saddened to hear what became of the passenger liner and the poor souls lost onboard. Thanks for the information. I'll be sure to pass on the story.

Those ‘dialects’ are separate languages of Apennine peninsula.

Not "dialects". Regional *languages*.

I like the way that you gloss over the pagan religions, they were around for a long, long time before chritianity was invented, who is to say that they had no merit.

Ha-ha.... I was in Venice this year. I had no idea about any of this. But it doesn't take the sheen off a wonderful city.

Because they are beautiful buildings ❤

This guy can t make the difference between the romanians and romani people😂😂

The inscription on the top of the palace of Italian civilization translates too "A nation of poets, of artists, of heroes, of saints, of thinkers, of scientists, of navigators, of migrants" so that’s a nice touch I guess.

Romanian people love Italian people and the country. More good Italy to have mostly of immigrants Romanians and no other muslims or africans. Romanian people will not do any harm or to destroy the culture of the Italians

I'm going to Rome in a few weeks, can anyone tell me about the Quirinal palace where these are on display? The Castelporziano estate there looks amazing! I feel like I could spend my whole trip there and not see everything.

Is there any evidence that bilingual altar is from the later period? As far as I can see they date the statues to the 1st century CE, which is the current estimated end date for the use the Etruscan language.

Etruscans need more historical attention from the public.

lmao... christianity is pagan.. it creates confusion and exploits people, christianity as christianity is the worship of money, power and single ruler... its pagan... in teh sense with all cults liek hindu etc.

Was the sick child bronze a sign for a children's shelter?

Wow, very interesting and thanks for making this vid. Kudos.

And sunt In vacanta in Spania sau Italia si vorbesc romana ma inteleg mult mai bine cu localnicii decat vorbind in engleza ! Fara sa fi studiat franceza , in franta inteleg 75% , ma exprim mai putin dar uneori cuvintele parca imi vin de la sine in franceza 😁 ! Portugheza mo se pare mai dificila dar nu atat de rau pe cat pare ! Viva Romania 🇷🇴❤️ ! I’m living in Romania 🇷🇴 my lovely country !!!!

My 2nd great grand uncle and his two cousins died on the Arandora star. Silvestro, Angelo Antonio and Francesco D’Ambrosio. God rest their souls. 🙏

I monumenti el ventennio fanno parte delle bellezze di Roma EUR . Se non ti garba il quartiere Roma-EUR non andare a visitarlo, non vorrei che ti sentissi male. ahahahahahah
