Rome: An unconventional tour of “la grande bellezza”. PART I

Imagine you have already seen the top tourist sites on your check-list, jousted the crowds for a peek at Michelangelo’s Pietà, obediently waited in the endless line to the Vatican Stanze,even dutifully strained your eyes and neck for a glance at the unfathomable perfection of the Sistine ceiling, even walked through the ruins of the Forum under the blazing sun, …now you can relax. This is an art lecture which dares you to visit the “other” museums of the Eternal city with curiosity, cajoles you into following an insider’s perspective, to relish in the discovery of roads a little less travelled. A virtual tour which begins with the surreal beauty of ancient Roman frescos in the collection of Palazzo Massimo, continues with dolphins and tortoises of bronze in the Jewish Ghetto, relives the lavish parties of a Roman courtesan beyond the Tiber, allows you to gaze at jewels
