- Duration: 3 Hours (approx.)
- Location: Rome, Italy
- Product code: RM0044
Starting from the Capuchin Crypt, an underground cemetery where the bones of 4000 friars are displayed in a scenographic gruesome "triumph of Death" sort of gallery, to the Trevi Fountain, the monumental celebration of the Virgin Aqueduct, we will walk to Piazza di Spagna to admire the beautiful "Spanish Steps", designed in 1722 by Francesco de Sanctis. After crossing the XIX century Galleria Colonna we’ll visit the Piazza Colonna, named after the Column in honor of the Emperor Marcus Aurelius.
We will stroll to Piazza Montecitorio, with the 18th-century old tribunal, which is now the seat of the Italian Parliament. Then we will see Piazza Sant’Ignazio, the beautiful "rococò" square, and the Jesuit Renaissance church with the illusionist dome by Andrea Pozzo. We’ll enter the Pantheon with its huge ancient Roman dome and the grave of the great Italian artist Raphael. Finally, time for a Gelato!
