MONUMENTAL ROME
A walking tour in the very heart of Rome to discover
the famous Trevi fountain celebrated by Fellini and many film directors,
a must for the ritual of the coin: throw a coin to the fountain
to return to Rome! The Spanish Steps, named for the 300 year old
Spanish Embassy to the Vatican. Hangout of many artists in the past
(Keats, Wagner, Goethe) and now renowned fashion district (Gucci,
Ferragamo, Prada, Bulgari, Cartier, Tiffany, Valentino, Armani).
The Pantheon: the best preserved pagan temple with the amazing original
dome model for all later domes and the lively Piazza Navona: one
of the most charming baroque squares still retaining the oval shape
of an ancient Roman stadium. The Four River fountain is the most
famous fountain by Bernini, the artist who made Rome in Baroque
style.
