Internazionali di Tennis (May),
Lungotevere Maresciallo Diaz...
The structure of the Foro Italico, famous for the quality of
its sport and the number of events that it hosts, is the headquarters
of the Italian International Tennis tournament.
It is not only famous in Italy, but also on an international
level, i.e. the ATP Tournaments.
Only the top thirty tennis players in the world are allowed
to compete on the clay courts.
The event (especially the finals) attracts a wide following
among the public, not only because of the high level of competitiveness
between the players, but also because it takes place in the
beautiful Stadio dei Marmi, so called as it is entirely surrounded
by white marble statues..
