Our private tour was with Gianluca Pica. We didn’t meet him at the hotel, but a nearby square. He was very knowledgeable about Rome and it’s history. It is a long walk, but the best way to see the sights as they appertain to the book/film, Angels & Demons. We both thoroughly enjoyed the tour. You are shown things you would never normally notice. Gianluca was very courteous about coffee/loo breaks and general comfort levels. The churches en route, whilst commonplace in Rome, are spectacular. Worth giving this a try, even if you haven’t any interest in the book.

What an amazing tour! Elisa Taddei is a wonderful guide full of knowledge and will keep you entertained! I strongly recommend her! We also had her for the colosseum and Roman forum tour. 100/100 experience.

Santa Maria della Vittoria is a renowned Roman Catholic church located in Rome. This baroque masterpiece is most famous for housing Bernini's "Ecstasy of Saint Teresa," a captivating sculptural group within the Cornaro Chapel. The church's interior is a splendid example of baroque architecture, with its rich decorations, vibrant frescoes, and elaborate marbles. Santa Maria della Vittoria, dedicated to the Virgin Mary, is not only a place of worship but also a treasure trove of art, attracting visitors and art enthusiasts from around the world.
The Trevi Fountain is Rome’s largest and most iconic baroque fountain, famed for its elaborate sculptures and tradition of coin-throwing for wishes and a return to Rome.
Rome's Pantheon, the ancient temple of all the gods, was built between AD 118-125 by Emperor Hadrian. Its dome was the largest dome ever until Brunelleschi's dome at the Florence Cathedral was built in 1420-36. In the 7th century, it was made into a church by early Christians but it's still the best-preserved building of ancient Rome.
You’ll stroll through the bustling Piazza Navona, named the most beautiful square in Italy, which houses three magnificent fountains including the famous Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi (Fountain of the Four Rivers) by Bernini. Piazza Navona is also one of the liveliest squares of Rome with several quaint outdoor restaurants and cafes.
The Fountain of the Four Rivers, centrally located in Rome's Piazza Navona, is a monumental statement of Gian Lorenzo Bernini's creative genius. Commissioned in the mid-17th century, the fountain serves as a celebration of the world's four major rivers across four continents: the Nile, Danube, Ganges, and Rio de la Plata. Each river is represented by a distinct figure, intricately carved to symbolize its unique character. Exuding a dynamic spirit of the Baroque era, the fountain adds not only to the city's aesthetics but also narrates tales that are integral to Rome's artistic and cultural history.
Ponte Sant'Angelo, initially built by Emperor Hadrian in 134 AD, is famed for its angel statues, a project overseen by Gian Lorenzo Bernini in the 17th century. These statues, embodying the Passion of Christ, crown the bridge with a sense of the sacred, making it a visually stunning experience that connects Rome's rich history with Bernini's Baroque artistry.
St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City is a renowned architectural masterpiece and an iconic symbol of the Catholic faith. Built over what is traditionally considered the tomb of Saint Peter, the first Pope, its construction involved legendary figures like Bramante, Michelangelo, and Bernini. The basilica is famous for its majestic dome, ornate interiors, and the significant role it plays in Catholic traditions.
St. Peter’s Square that hides mysterious and alchemical symbols.
