Rome tour operators have lost no time in organizing Great Beauty tours, based on the places that feature in the Oscar-winning Italian film La Grande Bellezza. Apparently, there is already demand to visit little-known beauty spots in the Eternal city,  such as the Acqua Paolo Fountain on the Janiculum hill,  the Garden of the Oranges and the Villa del Priorato on the Aventine hill, the Park of the Aqueducts, the EUR monuments and Bramante Tempietto di San Pietro in Montonio.
