Description |
 |
| |
 This segway tour begins with Piazza Farnese’s magnificent proportions. This is the perfect place to get trained with your segway, with the prestigious view of Palazzo Farnese on your back. Nearby, we have Campo de’ Fiori, the most ancient open air fruit and vegetable market in Rome, considered the “quintessential square of the Romans.”
Then, we will discover Piazza Navona, the Baroque Rome’s lounge. This was the stage for the masterpieces of the two main artists of the 17th century, Bernini and Borromini. As we walk along the Senate building, we will get to the Pantheon, round temple par excellence, a splendid example for generations of modern and ancient architects.
We will then go to Piazza di Pietra, a charming area that is not very well known. It owes its name to the presence of the Tempio di Adriano, whose side (that is almost intact), has been absorbed by the Borsa building.
If the pedestrian traffic allows it, we will get to Fontana di Trevi, surely the most spectacular and famous of Rome’s fountains. It shows the Acqua Vergine, the aqueduct built by Marco Vipsanio Agrippa, in Rome, in 19 BC to fuel his Thermae.
We head to Montecitorio where, since 1871, the Camera dei Deputati has stood. From its design to its present look, the building passed through different phases and interventions by Gian Lorenzo Bernini, Carlo Fontana and Ernesto Basile. Inside, there are works of Rosai, Carrà, De Chirico,Viani, Boldini, Campigli and among the paintings, the Marriage at Cana by the Paolo Veronese school.
As we travel through Via dei Coronari, the street of Roman antiques, we then reach one of the most famous monuments in Rome: the mysterious Castel Sant’Angelo.
Then we go to Via Giulia and cross Ponte Sisto where we enter Trastevere, where we will see Santa Maria in Trastevere Basilica, the true heart of popular Rome. Now, it is time to come back from where we started.
