In fact, the Estate Romana includes many different initiatives: they all take place in the open air and offer locals and tourists alike the chance to spend many enjoyable nights in Rome without spending a fortune. You may look at the full schedule in the official website http://www.estateromana.comune.roma.it/ .

The most interesting events of the Estate Romana are the Isola del Cinema (Cinema Island) in the enchanting setting of the Tiber island, where film screens are set up and show mainstream and cult movies every nights. There are also many stalls along the sides of the island, and several kiosks where to have a drink chatting with friends.

Today the Roman Forum appears as a wide expanse of ruins, symbol of the great power of ancient Rome, and it is one of the most visited archaeological sites in all the world.
Of remarkable significance are the Curia, that was the Senate meeting house; the white marble Arch of Septimius Severus, which consists of three archways built on a travertine base to commemorate the Emperor victories against the Parthians; the Tabularium, that was the official records office; and the Forum Main Square, in central position.

Among religious monuments are several temples and shrines dedicated to the worship of Gods, such as the Temple of Saturn, the Temple of Vespasian and Titus, the Basilica Iulia, the Temple of Caesar, the Temple of Castor and Pollux, the Basilica Aemilia, and the Temple of Vesta.
