Blood & Power: The Dark History of Rome Walking Tour

Step into the shadows of the Eternal City to uncover the betrayals, executions, and power struggles that shaped its past. This evening walking tour blends true crime, political intrigue, and dramatic history — all set against Rome’s most atmospheric backdrops.

We begin at Largo di Torre Argentina, where Julius Caesar was assassinated. From there, explore Campo de’ Fiori, where philosopher Giordano Bruno was burned at the stake for his radical ideas.

Stroll through Piazza Navona to hear tales of rivalry between Baroque masters Bernini and Borromini, and learn about Rome’s official executioner. End at Castel Sant’Angelo — once a mausoleum, later a fortress, prison, and escape route for popes.

This is more than a history tour — it’s a journey into the dark heart of Rome, perfect for fans of mystery, power, and the stories most tours won’t tell.
