About Rome
Beneath Rome’s grand piazzas and ancient ruins lie stories waiting to be uncovered — from the multi-layered underground world of San Clemente, where pagan temples and early Christian chapels intertwine, to the exquisite art treasures of the Galleria Borghese set in lush villa gardens. Wander the hauntingly preserved streets of Ostia Antica, once the bustling port of the empire, or explore the Capitoline Museums where Renaissance grandeur meets ancient relics. Add to that the city’s hidden courtyards, secret passages, and forgotten crypts, and Rome becomes not just a destination but a living labyrinth of mysteries that invite you to keep discovering more.

What to Expect
■
Layers of Time
Step beneath the streets of Rome and descend through centuries in a single breath. At San Clemente, we uncover a hidden world where a 12th-century basilica rests above a 4th-century church, and even deeper, a pagan temple whispers from the shadows. It’s like peeling back the layers of history itself — each floor telling a different chapter of Rome’s eternal story.
A Gallery in a Garden
Nestled in the green embrace of Villa Borghese, this museum feels more like a secret treasure chest than a gallery. Masterpieces by Bernini, Caravaggio, and Raphael glow under gilded ceilings, while marble halls echo with beauty and drama. It’s intimate, dazzling, and every room feels like stepping into a painter’s dream.
Ghosts of a Port
Once the bustling seaport of ancient Rome, Ostia Antica now lies in haunting stillness, its streets, mosaics, and bathhouses remarkably preserved. As you wander, you can almost hear the merchants bargaining, children playing, and ships creaking in the harbor. It’s Pompeii without the crowds — a forgotten city that still feels alive.
Power on Display
Perched high on Rome’s Capitoline Hill, Capitoline Muuseums are where Renaissance brilliance and ancient grandeur shake hands. Here, marble emperors gaze down from their pedestals, the legendary bronze she-wolf of Rome bares her teeth, and the piazza designed by Michelangelo frames it all. It’s not just a museum visit — it’s a conversation across centuries.
