What does the name "Italy" originally translate to?
Answer: B - The Land of Veal ("víteliú", "vitulus" -> "vitella").
The name Italy originally applied only to the southern tip of the peninsula (modern-day Calabria). It was only during Roman expansion that the term grew to encompass the entire peninsula up to the Alps.
How many hills was Rome originally built on?
Answer: C - 7 Hills.
The seven hills of Rome east of the Tiber form the geographical heart of Rome. They were the site of the first settlement of the ancient city.
Which Renaissance bridge connects Regola to Trastevere?
Answer: A - Ponte Sisto.
Built by Pope Sixtus IV for the Jubilee of 1475, it is one of the most iconic and photographed bridges in Rome.
Our building was constructed in 1800. Therefore there are no elevators to reach Lily Terrace on the third and fourth piani (4th and 5th floors for Americans). Please make sure all guests are able to handle four flights of stairs before booking.
