What you'll do

Automatic translation ·

Join me on a fascinating journey along the monumental axis that transformed Rome into the world capital of the arts. Starting from the splendid setting of Palazzo Farnese, we will retrace the footsteps of the great popes and masters who redefined the face of the Eternal City between the 16th and 17th centuries. We will walk along Via Giulia, the first straight street of the Renaissance, discovering how majestic aristocratic palaces and eccentric Baroque details blend into the fabric of the city. We will closely examine Francesco Borromini's ingenious solutions at Palazzo Falconieri and the symbols of Baroque Rome, reaching the imposing church of San Giovanni dei Fiorentini. Our walk will then continue towards the Tiber and Castel Sant'Angelo, concluding at the quintessential symbol: the grand embrace of St. Peter's Square and Gian Lorenzo Bernini's colonnade.
