Kings of the internet, rulers of our homes, cats have also another important role in Italy: they  are emperors of the Città Eterna. If you visited Rome, you know felines are revered and respected around its streets and that they have a penchant for settling in the  city’s most iconic archaeological locations, including the Imperial Forum and the Colosseum. 

However, the most famous of all Roman feline colonies is the one at Torre Argentina, where kitties of all ages, colors and temperament live quietly and happily among the ruins of ancient Roman temples and homes. Let’s be honest: is there a more apt location for a cat to live in than a place where, once upon a time, emperors used to hang?
