Rome changes its appearance when the darkness falls.
When the sun sets, the historic center of Rome becomes the stage for stories of power, crime, intrigue, revenge, and legends that have crossed the centuries.
This is an immersive walking theater experience, where history and storytelling meet in the very places to which the narrated events are linked.
Accompanied by a narrator-performer and the light of a faint lantern, you will walk the streets and squares of central Rome as characters and stories from the past come alive.
You will discover the dark side of Rome, with its murders, intrigues, and legends.
It is not a simple guided tour and it is not a traditional ghost tour. It is a live story, built to immerse you in the atmosphere of the places and see Rome through the stories of those who lived it.
A Rome different from the one you know. A Rome that, at night, tells its secrets.
What's Included
Meeting and pickup
The narrator, in gothic attire, will wait for you in front of the entrance of Castel Sant'Angelo. All that's left is to follow the lantern.
