The Journey
Campo de' Fiori
Campo de' Fiori, once a vibrant flower market, now pulsates with the energy of bars and restaurants. Beneath the lively facade lies a darker past: it was once a site of public executions, most famously that of philosopher Giordano Bruno. Today, the bronze statue of Bruno stands as a silent reminder of this grim history, making it a compelling starting point for a spooky Roman adventure.
Piazza Navona
Piazza Navona, a Baroque masterpiece built on the site of the Stadium of Domitian, was once a hub for lavish parties and chariot races. Legend whispers of a secret passageway connecting the square to the Vatican, used by popes for clandestine affairs. Explore its stunning fountains and architecture while contemplating the scandalous history hidden beneath its beauty.
Madonelle of Rome
Throughout Rome, discover the 'madonelle,' small shrines depicting the Virgin Mary. These 'little madonnas' once served as protectors of neighborhoods and deterrents to crime. Learn about their historical significance as symbols of faith and community, offering a glimpse into the daily lives and beliefs of Romans past.
Ponte Sisto
Ponte Sisto, the oldest bridge in Rome, spans the Tiber River with a history steeped in tragedy and intrigue. Tales of fatal accidents during its construction, power struggles over its control, rampant theft, and suspicious deaths cling to its ancient stones. Cross the bridge and listen for the echoes of its tumultuous past.
Nasoni Fountains
Unlike the grand fountains of Rome, the 'nasoni,' or big noses, are small, unassuming drinking fountains found throughout the city. One of these fountains bears a chilling inscription warning those who dare to drink from it, adding a touch of macabre mystery to this otherwise commonplace feature of the Roman landscape.
Santa Maria della Concezione dei Cappuccini
Santa Maria della Concezione dei Cappuccini, a 17th-century church, contains a bone crypt adorned with the skeletal remains of over 4,000 Capuchin monks. This macabre display serves as a 'memento mori,' a reminder of the transience of life and the inevitability of death. A chilling, unforgettable experience.
Former Carceri Nuove Prison
Once one of the most notorious prisons in Rome's history, the Carceri Nuove now stands as a haunted apartment block. Imagine the suffering and despair that permeated these walls, as you learn about the prison's brutal past and the restless spirits said to linger within.
Santa Maria in Monserrato degli Spagnoli
Santa Maria in Monserrato degli Spagnoli, a Spanish church in the heart of Rome, holds a scandalous story worthy of a telenovela. Uncover the saucy tale of love, betrayal, and intrigue surrounding the church's history, adding a touch of drama to your Roman exploration.
Former Beauty Shop
Long before it was a bar, this location served as a beauty shop. Learn about the dark side of cosmetics throughout history and the deadly consequences of the beauty industry, revealing when cosmetics could kill and the dangers they posed to unsuspecting customers.
Mastro Titta's House
This seemingly quaint house once belonged to Rome's most infamous executioner, Mastro Titta. Delve into the life and work of this notorious figure, and imagine the grim realities he faced within these very walls. Experience the chilling legacy of Rome's executioner.
Ponte Sant'Angelo
Ponte Sant'Angelo, once used to display the bodies of the executed as a warning to sinners, is now adorned with statues of angels. Learn the tragic tale of the Cenci family, whose story of betrayal and execution is forever linked to this iconic bridge. Admire the angelic sculptures while contemplating the bridge's dark history.
