Activity itinerary

Castel Sant'Angelo

At Castel Sant’Angelo, we provide a comprehensive explanation of its history and significance. We discuss the executions that took place there, shedding light on its role as a prison and place of punishment. We also cover the fortified corridor, the Passetto di Borgo, which connects the castle to the Vatican, highlighting its importance as an escape route for popes in times of danger. Additionally, we examine the Tiber River, which has played a crucial role in Rome’s defense and development. Finally, we explore the story of Saint Michael the Archangel, whose apparition atop the castle in 590 AD signaled the end of a devastating plague, giving the fortress its name.

Via Giulia

Via Giulia, one of Rome’s most elegant and historic streets, was designed by Pope Julius II in the early 16th century to create a direct route through the city. Lined with Renaissance palaces, churches, and hidden courtyards, it remains a picturesque example of Rome’s urban transformation during the Renaissance.

Piazza Farnese

Piazza Farnese is a beautiful and historic square in Rome, best known for Palazzo Farnese, a grand Renaissance palace designed by famous architects like Michelangelo. The square also has two large fountains made from ancient Roman bathtubs, giving it a unique and elegant look.

Passetto Del Biscione

Piazza del Biscione is a small, hidden square near Campo de’ Fiori, known for its old-world charm and quiet atmosphere. It is home to the ancient Passetto del Biscione, a covered passageway with remnants of medieval frescoes, adding to its mysterious and historic character.

Campo de' Fiori

Campo de’ Fiori is a lively square in Rome, known for its daily market selling fresh produce, flowers, and local goods. At night, it becomes a popular spot for restaurants and bars, with the statue of philosopher Giordano Bruno standing at its center as a reminder of its darker history.
