"I've Been to Rome, but Where is Tivoli?"

Good question..... Hundreds of thousands of tourists visit Rome each year, but not many venture out of the city. Tivoli is a small town in the hills east of Rome. (For you geography buffs, we're not talking about Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen, Denmark.)

For hundreds of years, the rich, famous, politicians, and religious leaders have escaped to the hillside communities outside of Rome to avoid the summer heat. Tivoli is the home of Villa Adriano (Hadrian's Villa) and the Ville d'Este with its extensive gardens.
