The sharpest free view of Rome
VNTG checks ~35 free imagery sources — national aerial surveys, Esri, live Sentinel-2 — and serves whichever is sharpest for the exact point you click. For Rome that's Esri World Imagery at 30 cm/px. Unlike a plain map, you can download it georeferenced, see the date it was captured, step back to 2014, and render the latest satellite pass. You're looking at the ancient core and the Tiber.
