Thank you. I have walking around the villa Aldobrandini and could not find the entry. Shame, I went to Santa Caterina. Thanks to you I have seen the inside of the villa. Precious.
Loved the video ❤ Thank you for showing us how to navigate our way inside the walls and which staircase to go to get the most beautiful view of the Appian way and surrounding areas. My husband and I are going to Rome and we plan on going to visit that location on September 15. 😊
The 1823 fire which destroyed the original basilica is one of the great tragedies of history. The original Roman building had survived almost intact as built all that time to only be destroyed by careless workers on the roof.
Huaoooooooooooo bis bis eureka ma è prorompente magnifica e non credo che ci vadano molte persone a visitarla e invece grazie a lei la conosciamo al fresco complimenti bis 👍👍👏👏🤩🌻🇮🇹🇮🇹
In effetti non è molto conosciuta, ma vale davvero la pena visitarla, in particolar modo per le opere etrusche che contiene, una più bella dell'altra. 🙂
True, it is always fascinating to think about the origins of such wonders. They give the idea that the Roman empire is not so far back in time, as indeed it is. After all, what is 2000 years in human history? A breath 🙂👋

Excellent choice for a walk. It illustrates the surprising neighborhoods of ancient Rome: Suburra, a popular and pleasure district, smack behind the Temple of Mars Ultor and the Imperial Fora! During the 16th century, while demolishing a wall in a barn located in Suburra, the workers heard a voice imploring them not to hurt the child. The stunned men discovered a beautiful fresco of the Virgin with Child, now located on the main altar. The news of the miraculous find soon attracted an enormous crowd. Giacomo della Porta designed this church in 1580. It is considered his masterpiece. This is remarkable, considering that he was the most important Roman architect in the last third of the 1500s. He continued the work on Michelangelo's projects on the Capitoline and at St. Peter's Basilica. At the later, he worked with Domenico Fontana and changed Michelangelo's design of the Dome, making it more pointed. He created the impressive facade of Gesu, the principal church of the Jesuites. St. Peter's Dome and the facade of Gesu became models for baroque churches.
Thanks for the high-quality images and the storytelling😊. The subtitles need editing, especially at 14:14 and 16:43. I can hardly wait to watch the next walk😊.
At 18:00, San Vitale. It fascinates me to this day because it is the first church with detailed documentation of the process of founding a church based on a will, in this case, the will of Vestina, the matron mentioned by you. Pages 78-79 of my book The Lost Gold of Rome (Sutton Publishing, 2007) include several paragraphs discussing the financial aspects, includingthe findings of my own research. The Castoriani Bakery was part of the endowment. It brought a revenue of 61 solidi (1 solidus equaled about US $286 at 2005 rates). I concluded tentatively that the money made by the Castoriani bakery translated into the grain requirement of about 51 cavalrymen for one year. Thanks for bringing me to one of my favorite sites in Rome😊
I enjoyed this walk very much because I did it myself some years ago. Please be careful when you leave the sidewalks. Frederick III was not the last Holy Roman Emperor. He was the last Holy Roman Emperor crowned by the pope. Thank you sincerely for the excellent excursion around the Leonine Walls.
Mille grazie! San Giovanni in Oleo! What a name for a church! I know the tradition associated to this name. As to San Giovanni a Porta Latina, a church known in our time for hosting many weddings, Montaigne described in his Journal de Voyage very strange things done by a group of Portuguese men in this church in 1578. If you want to read yourself about it, just download Journal de Voyage by Montaigne, open it with pdf reader and type Porta Latina in the search area. It's archaic French, but very easy to understand.
Thank you!!!! San Cesareo has marvelous Cosmatesque mosaics transferred from San Giovanni in Laterano in the late 1500s. Scipio Africanus' tomb is in Liternum (municipality of Gugliano, Campania). Fascinating walk!
Neither the German General nor the American General chose to fight in Rome. And therefore saving the city of Rome. Both were criticized by their leaders.
I think this is a very expensive piece of real estate. Inside the Aurelian Wall, but secluded. Inside the historical core of ancient and modern Rome, but...quiet. i looked up some real estate postings. Yes, I'll cost you a pretty penny to move there😂.
In San Martino ai Monti, all 24 columns are from the Roman period. Impressive! There are many churches in Rome that contain columns and other structures of Roman origin.
Dai SOTTOTITOLI leggo: "UNA ZONA MOLTO ESTERNA e DISTANTE dal CENTRO" 🤔Credo che chi ha scritto questo, sia totalmente PRIVO del SENSO d'ORIENTAMENTO. La Garbatella, è a 2 passi dal CENTRO. 🧐
What a treat! I enjoyed every minute of the walk! The fact that you don't say anything makes it easier for me to feel like i am walking with you! Do you plan to walk from the ancient starting point of Via Appia (the no longer visible Porta Capena in the Servian Wall; but it was close to the curvature of the Circus Maximus) to the Basilica of St. Sebastian, which was the departing point in this video? If you do, we could see the Tomb of Scipios, the so-called Tomb of Geta, the Tomb of Priscilla, the small but famous church Domine Quo Vadis, and walk by the Catacombs of Callistus (which I visited many years ago), the Catacombs of Praetextatus and the Jewish Catacombs? Or you already walked this portion?
Part of that route can be found here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YUiB4EckLoI.html and here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-801rQxfw4vk.html Greetings. 😉👋
At 41:25, gentle and patient tilting and panning at the magnificent Chapel of St. Ignatius of Loyola. He is buried in this church. I paused the video and read my Italian sources. I do that every time i want more information. This is luxury! This video is a treat! Your patient and methodical shooting is a blessing for the viewer.
It feels like I'm walking with you when I watch your videos ! Thanks to you, I saw the interior of S. Pietro in Montorio, as it was closed when I walked the Janiculum many years ago. At that time, I became aware of the tragic story of Beatrice Cenci, who was decapitated on September 11, 1599, in Piazza di Ponte Sant'Angelo, after her lover Olimpio Calvetti assassinated her father. Her lawyer Prospero Farinacci did not succeed in convincing the judges that her father had raped her. She was buried in this church in an unknown location. Your meticulous and gentle panning allowed me to pause at 32:39 and ponder on the inscription BONIS ET MORS ET VITA DULCIS EST (For the good, both death and life are sweet). Thought provoking, to say the least...
Thank you for this charming walk😊 I did see Porta Pinciana in the past, but did not explore systematically Via Veneto, as at that time i was focused on the Aurelian Wall and other ancient Roman vestiges in preparation for a book that I published in 2007. But in the summer of 1984 (quaranta anni fa!) I visited the Capuchin Crypt. I was going through major changes in my life, as a political refugee from a communist country. In those uncertain times, the thought of becoming a monk did cross my mind. But I moved on and continued my medical career. Yet, I still have moments when i think i should have become a monk😂. I would have had plenty of time to read and perhaps write about Rome, which has fascinated me all my life, with its strata of historical vestiges. I even wanted to obtain a history degree from a reputable university and I was accepted by such a university, but the circumstances of my life compelled me to quit this pursuit. The way you do the actual shooting is very viewer friendly. I like it very much😊
LOL! At 40:09, the old lady walking by you was curious about your camera😂 A very interesting and pleasant walk! Nero's Aqueduct, which I saw several times on my way to Santa Croce in Gerusalemme, fascinates me. In parts, it is unbelievably well preserved. To my surprise, the Sanctuary of Issis is not mentioned in Rendina's La Grande Guida dei Monumenti di Roma. I love this video! Grazie !
I love your walking tours! Over the years, I've visited many churches of Rome, including Santa Sabina. I was fortunate to see the ancient door made from carved cypress wood. It stood there from the 5th century AD! I don't see it anymore at the entrance. I guess it was safely stored somewhere. I am surprised by the relatively low number of views you get for your excellent tours. I noticed that the video creators who follow identical routes but skip architectural marvels and show scantily dressed pedestrian women get a higher viewing count😅. Why don't you ask a pretty Roman lady to walk ahead of you? Also, would you be willing to cut out the portions of the routes that do not stand out? You might be able to shorten the videos. I'm not bothered at all by the length of your tours. I like them the way they are. I'm just thinking about the people with short attention span😂. Thanks for the videos. I enjoy them very much.
Ehehe thanks Fiebepere but I'm not looking for the number of users. These videos are just a form of love for this city that has given me so much with its history and beauty and I'm glad that other people can also enjoy what it has to give. 😉
Good filming! We can see the uneven and smooth and rough stone structure of the long roadway Appian Road. Thanks. I've already bought new walking shoes cushioned and great traction for anti slipping. Thanks for your videos. Love to my bloodline Italy!
Italian government has done well at preservation of our Italian culture, our history--and omitting commercialization of our cities, towns with francise signs, buildings. My thanks to You in Italian government.
