A couple of years ago the director Franco Zeffirelli produced a 20 minute film entitled Omaggio a Roma, which means A Tribute to Rome. It features stunning photograpy of Rome and, as an added bonus, Andrea Bocelli singing. Among the sites you'll see are:
- Tiber Island (in the still shot above)
- Trevi Fountain
- Bernini's Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi (Fountain of the Four Rivers, in Piazza Navona)
- St. Peter's Basilica
- Detail from the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel
- Michelangelo's Piazza del Campidoglio and Cordonata
- Sculptures from the Capitoline Museums
- Colosseum
- Castel Sant'Angelo (the setting for the final act of Tosca)
- Bernini sculptures from the Galleria Borghese
- Il Vittoriano, the monument to King Victor Emmanuel II of Savoy, the first king of unified Italy
- Pantheon
