and Roman sculptures, the Renaissance Tapestries,

the Sistine Chapel home to Michelangelo's
awesome frescoes and Last Judgement. Enjoy anecdotes
and accounts of famous artists and popes giving you a fuller understanding and

and structure, the sublime and touching
Pietà,
Bernini's glorious and mystical baroque
Canopy, and the burial-site
of St. Peter with the monumental tombs of Popes.
Hear about the Papal Swiss Guards and the making of
Vatican City
State through the centuries.
Stroll at sunset through a maze of fascinating
medieval streets and narrow alleys accompanied by intriguing
stories and legends recounted by our friendly guides to discover Rome, in the
cool and away from the usual tourist itineraries to capture the unforgettable
sensual atmospheres of charming squares like Spanish Steps,
Piazza Navona and Santa Maria della
Pace, romantic and mysterious.
Magical sensations produced by splashes
of the Trevi Fountain, the lazy and silent flow of
the Tiber river and the elongated shadows cast on cobblestones
by the Pantheon's unique Dome
will reveal the bewitching air of the Eternal
City as we visit hidden renaissance
and baroque treasures. Our promenade will continue to Emperor
Hadrian's Mausoleum and legendary St. Angel's Bridge
to enjoy a fantastic sight of the Pope's imposing Castle-Fortress and to enjoy
an insuperable view of St. Peter's and its
Colonnaded Square elegantly
illuminated.
Your guide will be delighted to pass-on good suggestions on restaurants,
wine-bars and other useful information.
