On February 12 2010 Rome wakened up under the snow, leaving residents and tourists to live a breathtaking experience.

A really special event, as Rome under the snow is to say one of the most wonderful sights. It is also a rare phenomenon, considering that the last snowfall comparable to the latest one, dates back to 1986, well 24 years ago!
