Overview

Discover with me, Raffaella, art historian and tour guide born in Rome, the treasures of the Vatican and the heart of the eternal city on a 1 hour and 30 minute tour. We will start from Via Candia to reach St. Peter’s Square full of masterpieces of great value, such as the Vatican obelisk, the double colonnade by the Baroque sculptor Bernini and of course the Basilica of which I will tell you the story from Roman times to the present day. I will reveal the symbolic and Christological aspects and also small curiosities. We will continue along Via della Conciliazione, revealing the meaning of this great modern avenue, until we reach Castel Sant’Angelo, the ancient mausoleum of Emperor Hadrian transformed into a fortress, prison and papal residence. I will guide you through architecture, art and curiosity, helping you to compare ancient Rome and today through images and stories. This tour is ideal for those who want to discover Rome with new eyes, accompanied by an experienced and passionate guide.

What To Expect

St. Peter's Square

As soon as you arrive in St. Peter's Square, you will find yourself in front of a unique show in the world. I will guide you through his masterpieces: the ancient Egyptian obelisk overlooking the center of the square, the scenic embrace of Bernini’s colonnade and the monumental facade of the Basilica. I will tell you everything: from its construction to the Baroque era, from hidden symbols to the curiosities that often escape those who visit alone. You will feel like you are seeing the square with completely new eyes!
