    Colosseum

    As we gaze upon the Colosseum, we are filled with a sense of grandeur and magnificence, combined with admiration for those who created something destined to last forever. This is enough to awaken in us the desire to know every detail of this monument, discover its ancient history and construction secrets, and, above all, relive a day at the Coliseum in the name of entertainment and fun. A visit to the Colosseum Arena is much more exclusive than a standard visit to the rest of the amphitheater. Seating capacity is limited, so there are far fewer tourists setting foot in this special part of the Colosseum. You will go down to the arena where the gladiators fought!!!

    Palatine Hill

    After the Colosseum guided tour, the tour continues through the square dominated by the Arch of Constantine, one of the three triumphal arches still standing in Rome. We can admire the rich decorative apparatus of the arch, made up of reliefs and statues, which will allow us to understand the artistic taste of the Romans and the propagandistic and celebratory role of art in the service of power. At the Arch of Titus, we'll start our ascent towards Palatine Hill, the most famous of the seven hills of Rome, a prestigious place full of historical memory, to which our guides will be able to pay due attention. In fact, on the Palatino, you will discover the most ancient past of Rome and discover those places considered sacred by the Romans, as they were the sceneries of mythical events that led to the founding of the city.

    Via dei Fori Imperiali

    From Palatino, we will descend into the valley occupied by the Roman Forum, which, together with the area of ​​the Imperial Forums, constituted the beating heart and monumental center of ancient Rome. Our guide will lead you along the Via Sacra, the road of processions and triumphs, where you will hear details about everyday life, anecdotes about famous politicians and ancient legends. You'll also see the most prestigious buildings in the square, such as the Curia, the official seat of the Roman senators, which has survived intact; the tribunes of the rostrums, from which heated political speeches were made; the assembly or the area for the election of magistrates and the imposing triumphal arches.
