What To Expect

Museum and Crypt of Capuchins

The Capuchin Crypt, often referred to as the 'Bone Church of Rome,' is a fascinating and macabre heritage site that showcases the unique practices of the Capuchin friars. Located beneath the Church of Santa Maria della Concezione dei Cappuccini, the crypt comprises six small chapels adorned with the skeletal remains of approximately 4,000 friars, who met their end between 1528 and 1870. These meticulously arranged bones serve both as a stark reminder of mortality and as a form of artistic expression, creating a hauntingly beautiful yet somber atmosphere that invites reflection on life, death, and the transience of human existence.

Via Veneto

The Via Veneto, one of Rome's most iconic and luxurious streets, is renowned for its elegance and high-end offerings, reflecting the glamour of the Dolce Vita era of the 1960s. Named after the decisive Battle of Vittorio Veneto in World War I, this street became a playground for Hollywood stars and celebrities, attracting an international elite that frequented its chic cafes, upscale restaurants, and exclusive hotels. The lively atmosphere of Via Veneto during this period, along with the relentless pursuit of paparazzi for the latest celebrity news, solidified its status as a symbol of opulence and hedonism in post-war Rome, making it a must-visit destination for anyone seeking a taste of la dolce vita.

Notably, the Galleria Borghese, located within the park, houses an impressive collection of masterpieces by artists like Caravaggio and Bernini, allowing visitors to experience the melding of art and nature in a context that celebrates Rome's cultural and historical significance.
