The Vatican and Rome. Tracing back the history
I have been an authorized guide of Rome and its province since 2001 and for about 25 years I have been illustrating the treasures of Rome with dedication and passion for cultural dissemination. In addition to a first level degree in Political Science, I have a bachelor's degree in Art History and a master's degree in Classical Archaeology. I love telling the history and art of Rome, always trying to stimulate the attention and curiosity of the participants in my tours.

I will be on the Sant'Angelo bridge, near the third statue of angels from Castel Sant'Angelo, with the sign "Vatican and Rome"
Description
A tour particularly recommended for those interested in learning more about the history of the Vatican and its two-thousand-year relationship with Rome!
Why is St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican? When was it built? Why is the Vatican called this? What is the "Passetto"? The tour will allow you to answer these and many other questions, guiding you on an itinerary rich in charm and history.
Through an in-depth overview from the outside we will examine
- Castel Sant'Angelo (start of the tour)
- Conciliation Street
- Borgo Passage
- Vatican Walls
- St. Peter's Square (end of tour)
At the end, on their own, participants will be able to visit the interior of St. Peter's Basilica and, if they wish, go to the Vatican Museums, the entrance of which is not far from the square.
So do not hesitate to discover together the Vatican, the beating heart of the Church of Rome, its history and its treasures!
