The Journey
Capuchin Crypt
Descend into the Capuchin Crypt, an extraordinary and thought-provoking ossuary beneath the church of Santa Maria della Concezione dei Cappuccini on Via Veneto. Adorned with the skeletal remains of over 3,700 Capuchin monks, this unique space transforms human bones into intricate artistic displays. Explore its six small chapels, where skulls, ribs, and vertebrae are meticulously arranged into symbolic patterns, chandeliers, and even altars. More than just a macabre spectacle, the Crypt serves as a memento mori, a powerful reminder of life's transience and the beauty within mortality. Reflect on the famous inscription: 'What you are now, we once were; what we are now, you shall be,' and experience a surprisingly artistic and deeply moving encounter.
Circus Maximus
Stand on the edge of the Circus Maximus, once the grandest stadium in the ancient world, and imagine the thunderous roar of 250,000 spectators cheering on chariot races. Though only the grassy outline remains today, close your eyes and visualize the thrilling spectacle of charioteers vying for victory in this legendary arena. Let your guide transport you back in time with tales of daring races, famous competitors, and the sheer scale of this historical entertainment venue. Capture the panoramic views of the city from this ancient site, immortalizing your visit with stunning photographs that encapsulate the spirit of ancient Rome.
Roman Catacombs
Venture beneath the bustling streets of Rome and descend into the Roman catacombs, an eerie network of underground tunnels that served as clandestine burial sites and places of worship for early Christians. With an expert guide, navigate the narrow passageways lined with ancient tombs, discovering the fascinating history of early Christian life, persecution, and symbolic art. Experience the cool, hushed atmosphere as you learn about the secrets and sacrifices of those who practiced their faith in the face of adversity. Gain a profound understanding of Rome's hidden layers, both literally and spiritually, in this captivating subterranean world.
Appian Way
Escape the city's hustle and bustle with a serene journey along the Appian Way, one of Rome's oldest and most historically significant roads. Cycle or stroll through the picturesque countryside, surrounded by ancient ruins, towering cypress trees, and the echoes of Roman history. As you traverse the original Roman stones, discover ancient aqueducts, elaborate tombs, and the remnants of opulent villas, each narrating tales from over two millennia ago. This scenic stretch offers a unique opportunity to step back in time and experience the grandeur of the Roman Empire in a tranquil and evocative setting.
