A walking tour of Rome that defines its mythic origins and legendary beginnings up to its modern grandeur. From Trajan’s Column in the
Imperial Fora your guide will put the Capitoline into context with the modern Victor Emmanuel II Monument (Il Vittoriano), which commemorates
the Italian Revolution and unification.
From the Vittoriano you will walk Michelangelo’s Renaissance staircase to Piazza Campidoglio atop the Capitoline Hill, one of the seven hills
of Rome and the first capitol of the Roman World.
You will explore the Capitoline Museums, the oldest public museum collection in the world, which includes the famous Dying Gaul, Capitoline
Venus, Capitoline She-Wolf, Bernini’s Medusa, and the colossal statue remains of Constantine. Your tour will include the best view of the
Roman Forum from the Tabularium, the ancient archive of Roman Laws, and will end overlooking the skyline of Rome from the Vittoriano terrace.
