The Journey
Aventine Hole
Discover a uniquely Roman perspective through the Aventine Hole, a secret peephole in the gate of the Priory of the Knights of Malta. Gaze through this unassuming opening to witness a perfectly framed view of the Basilica di San Pietro (St. Peter's Basilica) dome, seemingly floating at the end of a verdant tunnel of manicured gardens. This delightful optical illusion, unexpected and utterly charming, offers a quintessential Roman experience – a blend of history, art, and quirky serendipity that rewards those who venture off the beaten path.
