IF ITALY is the epitome of romance, the Spanish Steps in Rome is the epicentre of an Italian sojourn. Locally known as Scalinata della Trinita dei Monti, this is one of the most famous staircases in Europe. But despite all the fame and the buzz in the surroundin­g areas of Piazza di Spagna and Piazza Trinita dei Monti, in an attempt to preserve this historical structure it is now illegal to sit on these steps and people violating that law can be fined upto 400 euros! This makes the Hotel Hassler Roma even more special and exclusive.
