Rome is one of the oldest continually occupied cities in the Western Alliance, home to the Roman Catholic Church and to a long tradition of performing arts.  When Italy colonized their first new world, they named it Nuova Roma, New Rome, and sought to emphasize all of the strengths that made them the center of the world in times past.  The largest opera house in all the worlds is there now.  I’m one of the cyber wizards that keeps everything running.
