Ultimately, the city became the capital of successive Roman Kingdoms, the Roman Republic, and the Roman Empire, and is considered by many to be the first imperial city and metropolis of all time.

Rome is also known as "Caput Mundi" (the capital of the world).

After the fall of the Western empire that marked the beginning of the Middle Ages, Rome slowly came under the political control of the Pope and became the capital of the Papal State in the 8th century, which lasted until 1870. Beginning with the Renaissance, nearly every pope since Nicholas V (1447-1455) pursued a coherent architectural and urban planning program for more than four hundred years, aimed at making the city a world center of art and culture.

Famous artists, painters, sculptors and architects made Rome the center of their activities and created masterpieces throughout the city. Rome became the capital of the Kingdom of Italy in 1871 and the Italian Republic in 1946.
