ROME
ATTRACTIONS - SPORTING EVENTS
Since
the earliest Roman times sporting events have always figured prominently
in the Roman Calendar. These days bloodthirsty gladiatorial combat
has been replaced with soccer matches at the Olympic Stadium involving
one of Rome's two great football teams Lazio and Roma. In 2006/2007
AS Roma will be playing in the UEFA
Champions League cup.
Every Sunday from September until the end of May it's possible to
view a football match at the Stadio Olimpico and for more information
on how to get tickets and directions please contact the concierge
at Hotel Baileys for help and assistance.

The
Italian Tennis Masters 2007
The Italian Tennis Masters takes place every May at the Foro Italico Tennis Club on the banks of the Tiber and next to the Olympic Stadium. The Italian Masters has taken on greater importance in recent years as it is the largest tournament to be played on a clay surface prior to Roland Arrows Paris. Consequently, most of the world's top ranking tennis players take part. If you would like to view this event then please do not hesitate to contact the Hotel Mascagni when organising your accommodation or tickets for the Italian Tennis Masters in Rome.
