Overview: A private tour by car to cover the city from top to bottom, follow the river, travel along the ancient walls, and drive through the hills. You will gain a real understanding of the innumerable expansions and contractions that the city has undergone from its birth to the present day. It's a tour for avoiding the trap that so many visitors get caught in: being limited to a fragment of the city that, however rich, is just a small sampling of all that Rome has to offer. Here you will be given a view of the city's development across the centuries, its changes and the passage of time; a view that, though as through a glass darkly, brings to light the whole of the city's past. And you'll discover Rome beneath the stars, bewitched by the moon. Mysterious and magical, Rome under the moon exchanges honking horns and cosmopolitan chaos for lamplit streets that cradle dreamers and lovers who breathe in the scented air of romance, lost in endless enchantment. The night alters the face of the city, shrouding everything in a veil of mystery.

Here we propose a nighttime journey by car. Imagine yourself on horseback, being guided by an architect friend through the various parts of the city: from its origins through the years of the Republic until the time of Christ; into Imperial Rome, rich and sumptuous; across the dark times of the fall of the Empire. From there, on to the great early Christian basilicas, the Byzantine Empire, the revival of the Renaissance, the majesty of the Baroque, and into the city's redesign in the 19 th and early 20 th centuries. All along the way, we'll be telling you about the people who inhabited the city, across time and space: the wealthiest neighbourhoods; the changes in population; what they did for a living; their relationships with the river, the hills, the monumental ruins of the ancient city; and how the cultural and political center of the city was moved and redesigned several times, especially as part of the journey from the traditional pagan religions to Christianity.

Starting at the Capitoline Hill, ancient and sacred heart of the pagan city, we will explore the Roman Forum , the Colosseum , the Circus Maximus , the Aventine Hill , the Boarian Forum , the Olitorian Forum , The Spanish Steps and Holy Trinity on the Mount and the Pincio Hill with spectacular views over the rooftops of downtown Rome, Piazza del Popolo, Augustus' Mausoleum, Castel' Sant'Angelo, The Bridge of Angels, Saint Peter's basilica, Trastevere , the Janicolum Hill with the entire city glittering at your feet, Sixtus Bridge , Tiberina Island , the Pyramid , the Baths of Caracalla , the ancient Appian Way , the basilica of Saint John in Lateran , Piazza Vittorio, Piazza della Repubblica , Piazza Navona, the Quirinal Hill , finally returning to Piazza Venezia.

Grand vistas and ancient enchantments lead you down the road of discovery, bringing you to a new knowledge and understanding of the territory of the city. The seeds of these visions and memories will germinate in your imagination for years to come!
