Landmarks

Viewpoint
Favor a slightly elevated viewpoint from one of Rome's scenic vantage points, such as the Janiculum Hill (Gianicolo) or the Pincian terrace, looking across the Tiber towards the sea of domes and church towers of the historic center, with umbrella pines framing the foreground and distant hills resting gently in the background.
Palette
Green should be the predominant color, especially in the umbrella pines, cypresses, riverside plane trees, and villa gardens (such as the Janiculum, Pincio, or Borghese gardens).
Guarded against
Avoid making Rome look like Florence (no Brunelleschi dome or Palazzo Vecchio tower), Venice (no canals), or a crumbling romantic ruin painting where monuments are heaped together unnaturally.
