One day it is not enough to visit all of them, therefore it would be better to wear comfortable clothes and decide from the beginning what you would like to visit first. The last Sunday of each month the museums will be open and for free. From our B&B it is possible to reach Sain Peter’s Basilica and the Vatican Museums with the bus number 982.

The majesty of the seventeenth-century façade by Carlo Maderno gives the idea of the colossal dimensions of Saint Peter’s Basilica, still nowadays one of the biggest churches around the world. The early Saint Peter’s Basilica, a building comparable to the current one for its dimensions, was constructed around 320 by Emperor Constantine on the site where Apostle Pietrowas buried according to the tradition. During centuries and varied pontificates that long process began and in around two hundred years and with the contribution of numerous artists (Bramante, Michelangelo, Bernini) it would have brought to the complete renewal of the early Constantinian Basilica. The cupola designed by Michelangelo surprises for dimensions and harmony, features that you can appreciate thanks to the tiring but gratifying climb that lets people admire from closer both the interior and the exterior. Among the numerous masterpieces, absolutely not to be missed Pietà di Michelangelo, the work that astonished during centuries for technique and emotionality. A splendid colonnade of 284 Doric order columns and 88 Tivoli travertine pillars surround Saint Peter’s Basilica, as it would like to receive in a symbolic embrace the believers visiting. The splendid architecture of the colonnade was commissioned by Pope Alessandro VII Chigi to Bernini, who put the four rows of 284 columns in aparticular position, whose diameter he gradually increased, being able in this way to keep unvaried the proportional relations among the spaces and the columns also in the external rows. Thanks to this expedient, the spectator can see the colonnade as composed by only one row of columns reaching the porphyry plates on the obelisk’s side.
Trastevere is the emblem neighbourhood of the roman spirit. Protected by Gianicolo Hill, it has a unique structure, made of cobblestones alleys, beautiful and animated squares, small shops, splendid houses. A urban scenic design that invites people to dive in the past. That is the reason why many of the legends and traditions of Rome had their origin here. At any time of the day and night Trastevere introduces itself always welcoming, animated and lively. During the day its alleys are animated by small shops business, and at night it changes into the biggest heart of traditional restaurants, trattorias, bars and taverns of the city. Any name? La Sora Lella, Il Duca, and why not La Parolaccia, historic tavern where the employees are authorized to insult customers for general entertainment.
Ponte della Musica connects Flaminio neighbourhood with Della Vittoria neighbourhood. Coming from Via Guido Reni, where the MAXXI is,you can reach Piazza Gentile da Fabriano then you can arrive at Lungotevere Maresciallo Cadorna. The bridge has been built by the English studio Buro Happold Engineers, according to the Powell-Williams Architects project, which together won the international contest, announced in 2000, for the new work on the Tiber. The bridge is made of steel and concrete, 190 meters length and 22 meters wide. The wooden lateral staves and some architectural elements give the feeling of walking on a ship bridge. The official opening of Ponte della Musica occurred on May 2011.
The Auditorium of Rome is a multifunction complex dedicated to the music, which contributes to enrich the already huge heritage of the Eternal City. The site chosen for the construction of the Auditorium is located on the light plain which extends between the Tiber bank and Parioli hill, between Villaggio Olimpico, built for the 1960 Olympics, and Palazzo dello Sport, and Flaminio Stadium, planned by Pierluigi Nervi. The area so decentralized has the advantage to be able to receive and easily manage a big incoming of public (thanks to the close infrastructures already existing) but also the one to occupy a space which has represented for a long time a sort of artificial rift, a “hole” in the city. Città della Musica becomes in this way a new urban element . The rift is now covered by a around 30000 square meters park, where 400 trees have been planted. The lush vegetation which works as a connection between the roman neighbourhood Flaminio and the adjacent Villa Glori, opens in order to leave some space to the amphitheatre, a urban focus which introduces a fourth hall outdoors, designed for shows and concerts, where around 3000 spectators can find a seat. The complex also comprehends different spaces for commercial, recreational, study and exhibition activities.
Foro Italico, originally called Foro Mussolini, it is a huge sport complex located between Monte Mario’s slopes and the Tiber. Conceived in order to connect sport disciplines and ideological education, it was used as a scenery for the celebrating demonstrations of the regime. The varied bodies of Foro Italico are stylistically inspired by the motifs of the classic Monumentalism and the Italian Rationalism. The projectidealized and realized by Enrico Del Debbio between 1927 and 1933 with the revision of Luigi Moretti, and completed between 1956 and 1968, today it has been still modified and its original profile has been changed. The first works of the architectural complex were Accademia della Musica (today the building of ISEF and location of RAI Auditorium), Fencing Academy, Male Fascist Academy of Physical Education, Stadio dei Cipressi and Stadio dei Marmi, decorated with statues representing the different sport activities. The main entrance of Foro Italico is located South-East, in front of Duca d’Aosta bridge where on a wide boulevard totally mosaicked with black and white patterns, a huge Carrara marble obeliskrises up. For the 1960 Olympics, the Olympic Stadium and the Swimming one were added. Nowadays the Foro is still the flagship for the sport in Rome: the Olympic Stadium for soccer matches, Stadio dei Marmi for athletics, the Swimming Stadium and the Tennis one, respectively for the International competitions of swimming and tennis. Furthermore, Centrale Live Foro Italico hosts concerts and extraordinary events.
In the district called Flaminio, within the area of Montello barracks, the Anglo-Iraqi architect Zaha Hadid, chosen among 273 candidates coming from all over the world, planned the MAXXI, the National Museum for the XXI century Arts. A horizontal developed complex conceived as a “delta with different rivers”: eight longitudinal volumes, stranded and flexed one with another, which occupy a 30 thousands square meters area. The inner spaces are dedicated to the contemporary creativity and thought as gatherers for culture, experimentation, study and research.
