Rome: Trastevere and the Gewish Ghetto
Rome, city of history and culture, of traditions and innovations, city of art and literature, of emperors and divinities. Simply Rome and nothing else. Knowing it fully is possible but the real challenge is to enter its most remote corners, its most hidden secrets, know its alleys, its streets and what better way to do it than by visiting the Trastevere district and the Jewish Ghetto. The magnificence of Rome and its grandeur are recognizable as soon as you arrive in the city. From colossal monuments, to the ancient Imperial Forums, from Baroque art steeped in the most important squares of the capital to the Colosseum, an undisputed symbol of the power and might of such a vast and great empire, from Renaissance palaces to those of contemporary art and then the gardens, stunning views.
