Olimpo
Mt. Olympus, so legend tells us, was the lofty habitat of the Greek gods, from which the deities ruled over the earthlings. Olimpo, by contras, is a subterranean complex situated deep in the heart of Rome: a combined discotheque and piano bar, and the current favorite among the noctural haunts of the jeuness doree. As for the reality, the site on which Olimpo stands (or, more explicitly, was sunk into) near the Pantheon was, in the days of Imperial Rome, the site of a complex of Roman baths, a fact whose authenticity was proved during excavations in that area. The boundary walls of the disco area are actually those of the baths. So much for history.
