About this experience
Discover Rome's history through by experiencing the places where millennia of human activity have left their traces, side by side, visible and almost invisible. Explore the city's triumphal and tragic moments in the places where they happened. Rediscover layers of time and retrace steps that are sedimented in the city today.
I am passionate about urban history - urban history that comes alive through wandering in the less traveled-by corners of the city. I am professor of urban history who teaches on and researches the cities but I work only in places that I know well and love.
I do not believe in ready-made tours. This is why the precise structure of this tour is flexible. I start with a core of key areas and then fill in the gaps according to your interests. I always strive to make every tour unique and personal.
If you want to go beyond a couple of sites and understand how this amazing city came about, how it developed over time, where its secrets are, this is the tour for you.
