Highlights
- See two of Rome's most prominent attractions, the Colosseum and Capitoline Hill
- Learn about Roman history and lore in lively interactions with a seasoned local guide
Description
Start this Online Experience by climbing Capitoline Hill, the smallest and most important hill in ancient times. From here, we will have an interesting view of the current city centre and the centre of life in roman times, the Roman Forum. Coming down from the hill, you will see the Arch of Septimius Severus, one of the few standing Roman arches, and then we will walk by the first mall in history. Walk by the Curia, the Roman Senate built by Julius Caesar. This is where we will speculate the reason why he was murdered: Was it there that he was stabbed? Finally, we ended our tour at the Colosseum. Unearth its secrets, understand its architecture and learn its real history as you go around to see the largest amphitheatre built by the Romans. Fun fact, the Romans never called it that!

Eleonora Agostini - She was born just outside of Florence. The majestic dome of its Cathedral and its great artists pushed me to study Art History at University. She focused her attention on the birth of the Renaissance. She spent a few years immersed in the city's history, fascinated by the greatest bankers of Florence, who also became the patrons of brilliant artists like Michelangelo and Brunelleschi. After graduating, she worked for the University for a while and published some essays. Then she moved to what she liked the most: being a tour guide. There is nothing more thrilling than to talk about the life of the great, almost mythical, Florentines while walking through the streets to make the City and its art alive.
Daniele Meledandri is an architect and an art lover, with a mix of skills to make his guests live an experience of joy for all of their senses. Walking around the beloved city as a tour leader, Daniele realized that discovering unusual places to see in Rome was something great both for him and his guests. And so, he came up with the idea of introducing a different Rome and started to find and collect really special places and experiences to show the hidden gems of Rome.
