With around 2.75 million inhabitants, Rome (Roma) is Italy's largest city and home, in the Sapienza, to one of Europe's biggest universities. Together with Tor Vergata and Roma Tre, more than 160,000 people study here, shaping districts like San Lorenzo next to the Sapienza, the alternative Pigneto and the nightlife of Trastevere.
