Welcome to Passeggiate Romane

There is no better way to explore the Eternal City than with a Roman guide!
Your professional guide will allow you to experience Rome through the centuries - past and present, the pagan and the Christian, art and everyday life - and understand how all are inextricably combined.

Your guide can be with you for a half or a full day; your tour can be walking or by limo, minibus or public transport. In addition to tour and sightseeing services, your guide can help you with the language, the food and the shopping. Our guides are Romans who can show you typical aspects of local life. Guides know, and will show you, the real dimension of a city you will love and never forget. Our tours in Rome and our excursions out of the city are designed for the first time visitor, as well as the returning traveler who seeks a deeper understanding of Rome.

Most of the tours within the historical center of Rome are walking tours; however, we will provide our clients with transportation by limo, minibus, or bus if the service is needed or requested.

All tours are private - for your party only!

No queues to get into the Vatican or Coliseum!

(PRATO 1777 - Florence 1850)

In Paris between 1799 and 1808, Bartolini was a pupil of Jacques Louis David. In the studio of the great neo-classical artist, the meeting place of all the young talents on the Parisian scene, he met Ingres, with whom he shared a predilection for pure forms, for a classic, barely archaicizing manner, and for a highly refined combination of Renaissance elements in which the severity of the ideal was tempered by the use of soft chiaroscuro. His objective, he wrote, was that of '' approaching unattainable nature''. Having settled in Florence, Bartolini soon emerged as interpreter of the Purist approach imposed on sculpture already by the late Canova. Among his most famous works are the tomb of Countess Sophia Zamojska, in Santa Croce, and the Faith in God, now at the Poldi Pezzoli Museum in Milan.

 Monuments
The square was created after Palazzo Farnese was built and a street leading to Campo de'Fiori was laid out. In the epoch of imperial Rome, this site was a seat of one of the factions of the Circo Flaminio (a nice mosaic representing a horse race was discovered beneath Palazzo Farnese). The square was also named Piazza del Duca and served, apart from weekly market of horses, for the feasts of French ambassadors. For the whole of the 19th century it was a meeting place and a point of engagement of the working hands by the country workers and land owners.
Piazza Farnese is characterized by two twin fountains attributed to G.Rainaldi (1626); they are made of two baths of Egyptian granite brought from the Baths of Caracalla in the 16th century, that before being adapted for the fountains were used by the Farnese as a type of royal box for the spectacles held in the square.
