Description
Every nook and cranny of Rome is a history lesson. This Online experience will have us walking in St. Peter's Square, where we will discover the history of Vatican City and how the Papal election works. We will view St. Peter's Basilica, Dome and Apostolic Palace from outside and walk around St. Peter's Square to see the better columns designed by Bernini.
The walk along the cobbled atmospheric streets continues toward the Castel Sant'Angelo, walking by the so-called Passetto, the secret passage that once connected the Papal Apartments to the Castle, the papal fortress. We will finish this experience with a great view of the Castle standing on the Angels Bridge, the most beautiful bridge in Rome.

Andrea Arcieri is an art historian; his interest in the Roman cultural heritage deepened my knowledge of various aspects of my city's art about the Medieval, Renaissance and Baroque eras.
He finished his university career studying an XVII century "tourist guide" of Rome entitled Il Viaggio per Roma (The journey in Rome) written by a learned connoisseur named Giulio Mancini, who was, among other things, the personal physician of Pope Urban VIII Barberini.
He has been working as a tour guide for many years, and he gladly shares his passion and knowledge with those interested in discovering Rome!
