Rome Smartly — and Madly in Love with Rome
About this experience
Deep, endless, punishing, preserving, and always enticing great city. Feel Rome on a walk where names and facts are not a boring list, but a kaleidoscope of fascinating stories. History from Antiquity to modern times, architecture of the Middle Ages and Baroque, secrets of popes and emperors — in the format of a non-trivial dialogue against the backdrop of the main and hidden corners of Rome.
What to Expect
Classical and Authentic Rome
You will get acquainted with the Eternal City, so the route will of course cover key historical points on the city map. Colosseum, Arch of Constantine, Roman and Imperial Forums, early Christian basilicas, Altar of the Fatherland, Piazza Venezia, the temple of all gods Pantheon, Trevi Fountain, and the Spanish Steps — I will help you not to lose yourself in happiness and understand the great heritage of Rome. In addition, you will visit places unknown to the tourist crowd: we will talk about Gogol's passionate love for Rome, visit the green parrots, learn how to choose the most delicious ice cream, and remember the real name of Buratino.
A Walk Through Centuries Without Boring Lectures
I will show and tell you how the Eternal City has changed. We will touch on many topics — from the lives of women and gladiatorial battles in Ancient Rome to the secrets of the papal court and the times of Mussolini. You will learn about the gods Romans prayed to before Christianity, the undisclosed secrets of emperors, different versions of the lives and deaths of great masters. We will also talk about them: the genius of Bernini and Borromini, the highest art of Michelangelo, the strangeness and passions of Caravaggio, the sensuality of Raphael — all this is Rome.
