Modern Rome is a major international business destination. It is the seat of the Italian government, and the economy is dominated by services, IT, aerospace, defence and telecommunications companies, research, tourism, construction and banking. The city hosts the head offices of the vast majority of major Italian companies, as well as the headquarters of three of the world’s 100 largest companies, Enel, Eni and Telecom Italia.
As the saying goes ‘all roads lead to Rome’, the sprawling city of Rome remains one of the most significant stops in the world, thanks to its seamless blend of Old-World wonders and modern delights. The ruins of the Colosseum, her iconic fountains, lazy wanders through cobblestone streets with gelato in hand: All this and more beckon. Rome is a winding, spectacular city full of places to discover.
