The History of Art and Architecture has always moved me, being unlimited fuel for other passions such as travelling and connecting with different cultures, perspectives and conceptions of the world. I am a Brazilian Architect who found in the city of Rome itself the school of my dreams. My professional experience in the field of Cultural Heritage - especially in Architecture Conservation - taught me how to perceive the city as a living document to be read and experienced. Therefore, it will be a pleasure for me to share with you some knowledge and enrich your perceptions on the Eternal City, together with its symbols, its paths along History and the magnificent Cultural Heritage it produced for Humanity.

Tour description

The Piazzas have always played a symbolic role in the cities as an important place in which artistic principles and different ideologies have been expressed through time.

The goal of this tour is to better understand how the city of Rome has been reconstructed after the Fall of the Roman Empire to become the city we know today, focusing on the artistic and spiritual principles developed during the Renassance and the Baroque periods (1400's-1700's).
By prioritizing the context rather than loose data, the tour intends to provide autonomy to the participants so they can better interprete the historical stratification of the city through its piazzas, monuments and fountains.
Be ready to sharpen your senses and add new perspectives to your trip.

This tour invites you for a walk along 7 Roman Piazzas (Squares) and their surrounding monuments:

1. Piazza della Repubblica (Deocletian's Baths)
2. Piazza di San Bernardo (Fountain of Moses)
3. The Four-Fountain crossing
4. Piazza del Quirinale (Presidential Palace)
5. Piazza di Trevi (Trevi Fountain)
6. Piazza di Pietra (Hadrian's Temple)
7. Piazza di Sant'Ignazio di Loyola (St. Ignatious Church)


PS n° 1: The booking through the website has a limit of 5 participants. However, if you would like to join the tour on a "sold-out" day, or add more people if you have already booked a spot, do not hesitate to send me a message, everyone is welcome to join our walk.

PS n° 2: This is a tip-based tour, which means that the participants are free to contribute with what they feel comfortable with based on the quality of the tour.
