Rome
Rome, also known as the Eternal City, is the national capital of Italy, the seat of the Papacy within the Vatican, and the fourth-most populated city within Europe. Rome's history spans 28 centuries, in the past the city successively became the capital of the Roman Kingdom, the Roman Republic and the Roman Empire.
Once a centre of vampiric activity on the European continent, the rise of the Inquisition drove many vampires from the city. The presence of the Inquisition, the omnipresence of Holy Ground and persons with True Faith make permanently claiming domain here dangerous for most vampires. This made Rome an ideal place to store dangerous artefacts, or people if you have the know-how.
The Society of Leopold has its headquarters, the Monasterio di San Michele, in the city. Nowhere else are the Inquisitors more powerful. The Arcanum have a hidden chapterhouse in the city. Is founder, Massimo Linarelli, at first declined contact with the London-based Arcanum and even now, the Roman Arcanum is more secretive than other chapter-houses.
