29 june : Rome celebrates Sts Peter and Paul

29june.jpgToday in Rome is the commemoration day of Rome’s saints St Peter and Paul who were 2 apostles who died in martyrdom upon the command of Emperor Nero, back in 258. St Peter’s basilica is named after Paul, and it was built on what was presumedly his burial site.

To mark this special day and also to open the Estate Romana a special evening of music will take place in Piazza del Popolo tonight. A bunch of famous Italian singers will be there, such as Franco Califano, and some TV celebrities such as Paolo Bonolis will take part of it too, only to name a few!

… And while you stay in Rome why not stay in our welcoming hotel ?
