Window nº 11
The Tiber is the main river of central italy. It rises in the Mount fumaiolo and leads in the tyrrhenian sea. Unfortunally the Tiber's water is really dirty and cause of that the life on this river is really underrated. The only people that appreciates the life on the tiber are mainly rowers and athlets that live here every day to train and row. When night falls, the river with all the lights and bridges becomes a wonderfull show! I hope one day you will visit the river Tiber and Rome.

Window nº 2
Vatican City is a walled enclave within the city of Rome. With an area of approximately 44 hectares, and a population of 842, it is the smallest sovereign state in the world by both area and population.
Within Vatican City are religious and cultural sites such as St. Peter's Basilica, the Sistine Chapel and the Vatican Museums. They feature some of the world's most famous paintings and sculptures. The unique economy of Vatican City is supported financially by the sale of postage stamps and tourist mementos, fees for admission to museums, and the sale of publications.
It is an ecclesiastical or sacerdotal-monarchical state (a type of theocracy) ruled by the Bishop of Rome – the Pope.
The politics of Vatican City takes place in an absolute elective monarchy, in which the head of the Roman Catholic Church takes power. The Pope exercises principal legislative, executive, and judicial power over the State of Vatican City, which is a rare case of a non-hereditary monarchy.
Vatican City is currently the only widely recognized independent state that has not become a member of the United Nations. The Holy See, which is distinct from Vatican City State, has permanent observer status with all the rights of a full member except for a vote in the UN General Assembly.
There is also a Vatican football championship, with teams including the Swiss Guard's FC Guardia and police and museum guard teams.

Window nº 10
The Vittoriano or Altare della Patria, is a national monument situated in Rome, on Campidoglio Hill, designed by architect Giuseppe Sacconi, inaugurated on 4th June 1911 on the occasion of the fifty years of the Unification of Italy.
The name “Vittoriano” comes from Vittorio Emanuele II of Savoy, first king of Italy. Since when, in 1921, it held the remains of Milite Ignoto (a military died in war), the monument took a new symbolic value, and what was initially thought of a dynastic monument, finally it became a celebration of united Italy and his freedom.
The monument is situated in Piazza Venezia, one of the most important squares of Rome where meet five of the most important streets of the capital among which Via del Corso. Since the huge monument had to dominate the square, to take space some buildings situated on Campidoglio Hill were torn down.
I really like this monument because I think it’s one of the most beautiful in Rome and Italy and every time I go there I’m amazed by his size and prominence.

Window nº 6
Durante degli Alighieri, simply called Dante, was the major Italian poet, who lived in the late Middle Age. His Divine Comedy is widely considered the greatest literary work composed in Italian language and a masterpiece of world literature.
Dante has been called "the Father of the Italian language" and In Italy he is often referred to as “the Supreme Poet”.

Window nº 8
The Trevi fountain is in the Trevi district in Rome and it is the largest Baroque fountain in the city and the most famous in the world. It was built by the architect Nicola Salvi and was completed by Pietro Bracci. In its square three streets meet. Its standing are 26.3 metres high and 49.15 metres wide and marks the terminal point of the acqueduct Acqua Virgo which takes the name by the leggend which tells that a virgin helped roman technicians to locate a source of pour water some 13 km from the city. The tradicion tells that of you throw a coin in the fountain you will return in the city.

Window nº 4
The view outside of the school, a stone's throw from the center of Rome.

Window nº 7
The Cascata delle Marmore is a waterfall created by the ancient Romans. Its total height is 165m and it is located near Terni, a provincial capital of Umbria. The waterfall is formed by the river Velino, and the name of the waterfall comes from calcium carbonate salts present on the rocks that are similar to white marble. The water in the canals above the falls is diverted to a hydroelectric power plant.

Window nº 5
In Rome, Saint Peter is the only thing you are always able to see, it doesn't matter where you are.
On the top of Colle Aventino, Saint Peter can be seen, framed by the trees, in the keyhole of the gate of Malta's Order Knights Priorate. This is the most famous view of S.Peter, as well as the most beautiful one. Colle Aventino is famous for the churches from the medieval age, like Santa Sabina, Sant’ Anselmo, Santa Prisca, Sant’Alessio, San Saba e Santa Balbina, but also for the beautiful council rose garden, one of the most famous in all over the world, it extends for 10.000 square meters.

Window nº 9
The high school "Talete" has a small terrace where the students during the break can go to eat and admire the view

Window nº 3
Talete is in an old area of Rome very close to Saint Peter's church called Prati. Since 1911 this section of the city has changed a lot. From a rural territory it became the centre of the community. For young people it's a stimulating environment to join different activities.

Window nº 1
The Talete scientific high school is in the center of Rome, near the underground station Ottaviano. In 2016 the students of the school decided to take part of a project of “art against the decline” that took part some schools of Rome. During the week of self-management the students painted on the walls of school pictures of important characters.
