La Dolce Vita tour retraces the most magical places of Rome, the same streets that in 1960 inspired Federico Fellini’s masterpiece.
And just like Marcello and Silvia, two of the protagonists of the film, we try to make the art and beauty of our city live and breathe through true italian experiences both in Rome and its surroundings, where local farmers, cooks and artisans are waiting for you to get to know typical traditions and food.
Meet & greet at Fiumicino airport and transfer to the hotel.
Upon your arrival in Rome we will begin by visiting an icon of this city ..... the Vatican .
The interior of the Vatican is a mix of beauty and history to be discovered step by step: from
Pio-Clementino Museum
to the Gallery of the Candelabra, up to that of the Tapestries and Geographical Maps , the feeling of amazement begins to grow until it reaches its peak in the Sistine Chapel .
The Sistine Chapel was built by Pope Sixtus IV between 1475 and 1483 and was internally frescoed by the greatest artists of the late fifteenth century: 25 years after its construction, Sixtus IV's nephew, Pope Julius II, hired Michelangelo to paint that which in the future would become a Renaissance masterpiece. Twenty-five years later Michelangelo returned to paint the Last Judgment, completed in 1541.
Another point of splendor is the St. Peter’s Basilica, which "governs" the Vatican, it’s considered the most beautiful basilica in the world and under which is the tomb of St. Peter.
