MY PROPOSALS
ANCIENT ROME TOUR
Let's explore together the Colosseum, the Palatine Hill and the ancient Roman Forum MEETING POINT: behind the Arch of Costantine, side San Gregorio street MORNING TOUR: 8.45 am AFTERNOON TOUR: at 3.30 pm DURATION : about 3 hours With about 7 million visitors a year, the archaeological area of the Colosseum, Palatine Hill and Forum is one of the most visited places in the world. The Flavian Amphitheater is the largest and most impressive ever built. Close your eyes and try to imagine a screaming crowd of about 60,000 spectators all around, statues, fountains, exotic animals and fighting gladiators. A crazy architecture built 2000 years ago. The Palatine is the hill of the origins: from the first huts to the palaces of the imperial age, foreshortenings and fragments of a millennial history. Going down towards the Roman Forum, we will enter the heart of the political, social and religious life of ancient Rome, the site of the triumphal processions along the Sacred Way up to the Capitoline Hill.

TOUR VATICANO
Saint Angel's Castle, St. Peter's square and Basilica MEETING POINT: to be set TIME: to be set DURATION: about 3 hours From the Mausoleum of the Emperor Hadrian and his family, the castle was modified several times during the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. From a sepulcher to a fortified place, it was a place of prisons, secret passages, luxurious decorated rooms and residence of some Popes, connected to the Vatican by the so-called "passetto". In the 1800s it was used as a political prison. The view from Saint Angel's Castle over the Vatican and the whole city is breathtaking. St Peter's Square has a welcoming shape, a large elliptical space bordered by the two side colonnades: Bernini designed it with the idea to welcome a large number of pilgrims and that it was in harmony with the imposing structure of the Basilica. Here it is: the biggest Church in the world, the symbol of the Catholic community. Here the place of the martyrdom of the apostle and first Pope St. Peter is celebrated. The greatest artists have given their precious contribution to create a unique and immortal place. Michelangelo, Carlo Maderno, Gianlorenzo Bernini, Antonio Canova are just a few names of exceptional authors who have worked here. The unforgettable view is certainly from the Cupola.
