Read moreThe 82 steps of the museum and the statue of Rocky (at the bottom of the steps, on the right side opposite the museum) are unmissable of a visit of Philadelphia. We scramble to take pictures in front of the famous (and fictive) boxer immortalized by Stallone in the saga eponymous and we climb the steps running as "the Italian standard" in the first of six films. The statue appeared in the 3 rd opus, and if originally it was (as in the film) at the top of the steps, it was moved to avoid too dangerous gatherings. This saga, which tells the story of a man full of ambition from the poor neighborhoods of Philadelphia becoming a successful boxer of success, has contributed greatly to raising awareness of the city internationally.
