More than 2000 years ago, Roman arches were used not just for their architectural capabilities but also for their power to amaze and glorify. Although proportions and materials have changed through the years, the arch is still an object of beauty and romance.

Historically found only in the homes of the most affluent, the arch is no longer a prerogative of the wealthy and many versions appear in modern, bustling streets or hidden in secret gardens in quaint towns such as Sorrento.
