Detailed itinerary
1
Stop 1
The Colosseum, a symbolic monument of Rome, was named so in medieval times due to an enormous statue of Nero that stood next to it, the Colossus.
In the large amphitheater the ludes circenses were held, which mainly consisted of fights between gladiators and fights with ferocious animals.

Stop 2
The Circus Maximus is an ancient Roman circus, dedicated to horse racing, built in Rome.
At 620 meters long and 140 meters wide, it is considered the largest man-made performance structure.
3
The square is known because from the "keyhole" of the entrance door the dome of St. Peter is exactly framed at the end of the garden.
4
Stop 4
The "Gianicolo" is a Roman hill, it is one of the most panoramic places in the city with a view to the east of the neighboring neighborhoods and the historic center with the major architectural monuments of the city.
At the top of the hill (practically under the statue of Garibaldi) a cannon has been placed since 24 January 1904 and fires blanks at exactly midday.

Stop 5
Piazza San Pietro is the square in front of St. Peter's Basilica.
The square is part of the Vatican City and is delimited by the border with the Italian state.

Stop 6
Castel Sant'Angelo, also known as Hadrian's Mausoleum, is a monument in Rome, located on the right bank of the Tiber (the Roman river).
A short distance from the Vatican, it is connected to the Vatican State through the fortified corridor of the "passetto". The castle was radically modified several times in the medieval and Renaissance periods.

Stop 7
Piazza Navona is one of the most famous monumental squares in Rome, built in monumental style by the Pamphili family, with the typical shape of an ancient stadium.
Piazza Navona, at the time of ancient Rome, was the Stadium of Domitian which was built by the emperor Domitian in 85 and in the 3rd century it was restored by Alexander Severus. It was 265 meters long, 106 meters wide and could accommodate 30,000 spectators.
8
Stop 8
Until the fifteenth century the square did not exist as such, and in its place there was a flowery meadow with some cultivated vegetable gardens, hence the name. According to an unreliable tradition, the square should instead be named after Flora (a woman loved by Pompey, who had built her theater near her).
