Even Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake can’t resist the romance of Rome. The couple was spotted in the Italian city while there for the wedding of Beverly Mitchell, Jessica Biel’s former 7th Heaven co-star.
"[Justin Timberlake] purchased a pricey, vintage diamond engagement ring while on an ultraromantic vacation in Rome with Jessica Biel - and pals say he’ll soon ask her to be his wife," the National Enquirer said.
Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake aren’t the only ones who can get swept up in the romance of Rome. As a tribute, this slideshow highlights some of the most fascinating (some strange) charms of Italy.
