An interesting tour to visit some of the most famous sights of the Roman Empire: you will pass by the Circus Maximus, the grandest stadium used by Romans for horse-racing contests, the “Palatine Hill”, where according to the legend Romolus and Remus were raised by a wolf; “Piazza Venezia” dominated by the large memorial to King Victor Emanuel II and the Mussolini’s Balcony; will start our interesting walk from the Trajan’s Column , the elegant marble column inaugurated by Trajan in AD 113 and the “Trajan’s Forum”, a sunken area strewn with fractured marble architraves and columns giving an idea of its original appearance, then on though the majestic Imperial Forums Avenue to reach the “Roman Forum”, center of ancient Rome’s political and religious life; this incredible and interesting ensemble of ancient ruins reflects the 12 centuries of history that account for the Roman civilization.

Will walk through the “Via Sacra” (the Sacred Way - the route followed through the Forum by religious and triumphal processions towards the Capitol) to reach then the Arch of Titus, the imposing triumphal arch erected in 81 A.D. by Emperor Domitian in honour of the victories of his brother Titus and his father Vespasian in Judea. Finally you will reach one of the most important monuments of ancient Rome, the Colosseum, symbol of the Eternal City: it was built between 75-80 A.D. thus it represents the eternity of Roman civilization; this monument is no doubt a masterpiece of classical architecture with its three superimposed classical orders. This enormous amphitheater was large enough to seat 80.000 spectators at such Roman events as gladiatoral combats and the martyrdom of Christians.

The last stop on the itinerary will include a visit to the Basilica of St. Peter’s in Chains, where you will admire one of the many masterpieces by Michelangelo: the famous statue of Moses. The figure of Moses is one of the artist‘s greatest achievements: the majestic bearded figure is shown holding tablets of the Ten Commandments, and looks as if he may shatter them at any moment; the sense of power, both physical and spiritual, is overwhelming.
