Rome, the Eternal City. Rome, Caput Mundi. Roma Capoccia. Arrivederci Roma. These four phrases -English, Latin, Roman dialect, and from the Italian pop music of the fifties- all describe aspects of the allure and magic of the capital of Italy; for the past few years, Roma Ladrona, meaning “Thieving Rome.” Perhaps it is because of the city’s historical wealth, perhaps it is because of the Roman’s proverbial readiness for a one-liner, and perhaps it is just the musical brevity of the name. But certainly no other city on earth has ever been given so many nicknames, appellatives, and titles as Rome, the Urbs Aeterna.
