History prevails through a rich-lit night,
Monuments covered in artistic details; the Colosseum,
A sight of strike; Count one.
City dwells in a mix of haunting ruins and awe-inspiring art.
Entertainers spray the streets with power performances.
A sight of strike; Count two.
After long hours of exploration, when the food arrives,
A sight of lasting strike; Count three.
