An interesting look into a really complex period of Italian history. Our guide was incredibly well-prepared and made the experience even better. It was nice to see some lesser-known sites throughout the city. I'd recommend this tour to any history buffs, but also to people who just want to learn more about Rome.

Tour Details
Full Description
This unique tour delves into the architectural and historical legacy of the Fascist regime in Rome, exploring its ambitious vision to create a "Third Rome" after the eras of Caesar and the Popes. Our journey begins at Piazza Venezia, where Mussolini addressed the masses from his famous balcony. From there, we will walk down the Imperial Forums, retracing the path where Hitler and Mussolini paraded in a show of power.
Next, we visit the Foro Italico, a striking sports complex built under Mussolini’s regime. Its grand mosaics, Greek-inspired stadiums, and elaborate pools reflect the regime's desire to blend classical grandeur with modernity. Finally, we explore the EUR district, a hub of rationalist architecture that stands as one of Rome's most notable residential areas. Here, we’ll admire the Marconi Obelisk, dedicated to the radio inventor and regime supporter, and gain insight into how fascism shaped the city and Italy’s trajectory during the 20th century.
This tour offers a deep dive into the twenty years that transformed Italy’s destiny, from the rise of fascism to the fall of the regime in World War II.
