Through Eternity is staffed by a team of English-speaking art and Classical historians who live in the city and love to share their passion and knowledge with you. We know that your time in Rome is precious, that experiencing the culture, emotions, knowledge and art Rome holds is often the fulfillment of a dream. It is this dream that we, the Italian and American founders of Through Eternity and all of our team who have chosen Rome as their second home, will help you to realize. We are children of the Renaissance who believe in the value of man, the importance of art and experiences that can illuminate our lives.
Our touring philosophy
Our Rome tours offer you our knowledge and experience to help you explore and experience the city and her treasures in a new way. Our Rome tours are a journey through the ideas, emotions and passions of hundreds of great thinkers and artists from the past – from J. Caesar to Constantine , from Giotto to Michelangelo – people who gave life and legacy to this timeless city. Our walking tours Rome are intended to be experiences of art, as we take you into the authentic reality of the past, rebuilding the social and political context, and the lively environment in which events, creations and revolutions developed.
Our Rome private tours give an in depth view of the city's temples, piazzas, statues and frescos. Not only will you see and experience the sites on our Rome walking tours, but you will relive the times and places as they were when they were inhabited by our ancestors; Those who practiced rituals, participated in ceremonies, ate at wedding and funeral banquets, and who strolled and congregated in these very streets.
Our Rome tours because what we see in the great archeological parks of the Roman Forum and the Palatine Hill and in the imposing architecture of the Coliseum is all that remains of the invisible city of ideas, politics, and economic life. Only by way of this other city, will the dead city of colossal architecture come to life and be meaningful.
Our Rome tours to participate in the political and artistic life of Rome in the years of the pontificate of Julius II (1503-1513), to sit at his lavish table in the Belvedere Courtyard with ranks of artists, rich patrons, and art lovers, to be with them at the rediscovery of ancient artworks, at the creation of the frescoes in the Sistine Chapel and in the Raphael Rooms (the Stanze), and at the new Basilica of St. Peter.
Our Rome tours to follow the gladiator games and contextualize them, to discover the social reasons that favored their diffusion, the weight of imperial propaganda, the collective ritual value that these spectacles of death had for the multi-ethnic society in the enormous and turbulent Roman Empire of the 1st century AD and after.
