Witness the stunning mosaics and frescoes that narrate centuries of Christian faith and Roman life.

Circo Massimo
Step back in time at Circo Massimo, the colossal chariot racing stadium that once throbbed with the energy of ancient Rome. Imagine the roar of the crowd as you stand on the grounds where gladiators clashed and emperors presided. Although largely ruins today, the vast space evokes the grandeur of Rome's entertainment and social life, offering a glimpse into the city's ancient heart.
Bocca della Verità (Mouth of Truth)
Dare to test your honesty at the Bocca della Verità, the ancient stone mask that has captivated visitors for centuries. Legend says it bites the hand of liars, a myth immortalized in 'Roman Holiday.' Located near the Roman Forum, this iconic sculpture provides a playful yet intriguing encounter with Roman folklore. Discover its history as a possible drain cover from the Temple of Hercules Victor and embrace the legend that surrounds this peculiar artifact.
Piazza Venezia
Experience the vibrant energy of Piazza Venezia, a central hub where Rome's past and present converge.

This bustling square is a gateway to Rome's cultural tapestry, offering a glimpse into its political and social heart.
Cappuccini Crypt
Venture into the eerie yet thought-provoking Cappuccini Crypt, an ossuary adorned with the bones of thousands of Capuchin friars. This macabre masterpiece is not merely a display of skeletons but a meditation on mortality and the transient nature of life.

Gain a profound understanding of its place in Rome’s religious and cultural history.
