Explore UNESCO-listed Roman ruins, medieval squares, the castle area and hidden corners of the historic center, while learning about the city’s past and everyday local life.
The experience ends with a typical local drink, the Pirlo, a perfect moment to chat, ask for local tips and enjoy a friendly atmosphere.
