Itinerary

Stop 1

15 min

This is our meeting point, the magnificent once Popes' fortification, right in front of the bridge of Angels crossing over the Tiber, on which water its arches and castle reflect with a magnificent shining effect of lights.
St. Peter's Square

30 min Admission not included

We will be photographing Bernini's square, in heart of the Vatican City, taking shots of the amazing porches and fountain, and of course of the Mother of all Christian churches: St. Peter's Basilica.
Via dei Coronari

20 min Admission not included

This is one of the most beautiful and elegant backstreets of Rome, with a wealth of corners and charming little details to be photographed to capture the old soul of Rome.
Piazza Navona

40 min Admission not included

This Renaissance, Baroque square, sitting on the ancient Domitian Stadium, is one of our main stops. Not only the beauty of its oval shape, and the three gorgeous fountains in it, the most important one being Bernini's Fountain of the Four Rivers, are amazing subjects to photograph, but this square offers a great chance for an in-depth class on photography and its philosophy. Its buildings, as well as its details, will give us plenty of photo opportunities.
Pantheon

20 min Admission not included

Facing the relatively small Piazza della Rotonda, the Pantheon is the best-preserved ancient Roman temple of the Eternal City. We will photograph it from different angles, capturing its Greek architecture embedded in a Romanic style later construction. The marble dolphins, marine monsters and gargoyles of the fountain in the middle of Piazza della Rotonda, will also be intriguing subjects for more photos.
Piazza del Campidoglio

20 min Admission not included

Piazza del Campidoglio is one of the many Michelangelo's architectures masterpieces, with its amazing symmetric design, Marcus Aurelius equestrian statue in the middle and the beautiful facades of the three buildings on the sides. A perfect set for photos to be taken from many different angles.
Roman Forum

15 min Admission not included

A viewpoint over the Roman Forum is a magical spot to capture all the glorious beauty of ancient Rome. Columns, old temples and in the distance the Colosseum.... a breathtaking view to be captured by your camera for memories to keep.
Colosseum

45 min Admission not included

Our tour will end at the most visited archeological site in the world, but at a time when almost nobody will be there blocking our view or standing in front of the camera. The shots of the Colosseum and of Constantine's arch will be those you always wanted to capture, the most iconic evidence of your Roman holidays and the final great reward for a tour that you'll wish could last more.
