Olympic Stadium (according to Wikipedia): During the 1960 Summer Olympics, the stadium hosted the opening and closing ceremonies, and the athletics competitions. At the end of the new version of Olympus surpassed 80,000 posts, and so was the 14th stage in the world for number of seats in the stadiums used for football (soccer).

At the starting line...
Ponte Milvio (Milvio Bridge): built in 206 BC, the oldest bridge in Rome. In late 2006, the bridge began attracting couples, who use a lamppost on the bridge to hang padlocks as a sign of their love. The ritual involves the couple locking the padlock to the lamppost, then throwing the key behind them into the Tiber. The ritual was invented by author Federico Moccia for his popular book and movie "I Want You".
This is a cute one: it's a lock in the shape of "baci", a type of chocolate. Bacio (plural: baci) means "kiss" in Italian
