VILLA BORGHESE - The Art
Gallery / the Park / Pincio's
Terrace / Spanish Stepsmonolingual tour OPERATESONLYI
N ENGLISH, SPANISH AND IN
FRENCH
A "must" in Rome - apart from the usual tours - is Villa
Borghese, in itself worth a trip to Italy. Our Tour starts at
the Borghese Gallery, renowned for centuries as "the
sovereign of a l l pr ivate ar t col lect ions" wi th
masterpieces that the Borgheses (Pope Paul V
belonged to that family) have amassed in their tasteful
summer residence since 1600. Bernini as a sculptor,
Raphael, Caravaggio, Tiziano, are just some of the
highlights of an incredible wealth of art, ranging from
ancient Rome up to the Neoclassical style, the latter
epitomized by Canova's famous nude of Paolina
Bonaparte. The second part of the Tour will be
outdoors, through the delightful Borghese Park, the
Pincio Terrazza with its breath-taking view, the Spanish
Steps down to Piazza di Spagna, the heart of a paradise
for fashion conscious shoppers and selective gourmets.
From this central point most of the hotels are at walking
distance or easily reachable. Our guide will be at your
disposal for directions or any advice. We recommended
to book at least one day in advance.

world heritage, which preserves exceptional testimonies
from every age, from the imposing monuments of the

ColosseumMuseum
Colosseum Guided Tour: An official Colosseum guide
leads a 45-minute tour in English. Tours are offered at
9:30, 10:15, 11:00, 11:45, 12:30, 1:45, 3:00. Until
October 30, an additional evening tour is offered at 4:15.
The Construction of the Colosseum was started under
the emperor Vespavian and was completed by his son
Titus in 80 A.D. Originally named the amphitheatre of
Flavio, it became known as the colosseum because of
an enormous bronze statue of Nero which in the second
century A.D. was placed near by the monument. The
building was used for gladiator f ights, hunting
simulations involving ferocious and exotic animals and
similar entertainments. The building was constructed
with blocks of stone and brickwork. The outside is
composed of four levels , the first three of which are
made up of 80 arches while the fourth is divided into
sections interspersed with windows. On this level were
placed both stone and wooden supports which held an
enormous canopy which served as a roof to protect the
spectators from the elements. The brickwork on the
inner building was finished with a marble veneer. The
arena itself was a huge wooden floor covered with sand
while the subterranean passages consisted of a series
of tunnels where the wild beasts and various equipment
used during spectacles were held. Holding up to 73.000
spectators, entrance to the Colosseum was regulated
through a ticket system, with each ticket indicating
where the holder should go through the internal
passages and corridors to find his or her seat.

Roman ForumMuseum
The valley of Foro, nestled between the seven hills of
Rome, was in ancient times a marsh. From the end of
the seventh century B.C., after the improvement and
drainage of the marshes, the Foro Romano (a forum)
was constructed and this served as the centre of public
life in Rome for over a thousand years. Over the course
of the centuries, the various monuments were
constructed: firstly, those structures which served
political, religious and economic purposes and, later,
during the second century B.C., the civil buildings or
'basilicas', which functioned as juridical centres. At the
end of the Republic era of Ancient Rome, the Foro
Romano was inadequate in its functioning as a civil and
administrative centre. The various Emperors and their
dynasties added only monuments of prestige: The
Temple of Vespasian and Titus and that of Antoninus
Pio and Faustina dedicated to the memory of the Divine
Emperors, the monumental arch of Settimo Severo, built
on the extreme west of the square in 203 A.D. to
celebrate his military victories. The last great addition
was made in the first years of the fourth century A.D.
under the Emperor Massenzio, a temple dedicated to
the memory of his son Romulus. The imposing Basilica
on the Velia was restructured at the end of the fourth
century A.D. and the last monument to be erected in the
Foro was the Column of 608 A.D. in honour of the
Byzantine Emperor Foca.
