The family\u2019s prestige in the papal city was from that moment secured and culminated in the construcrion in the grand style of the palazzo, which was to become one of the most admired in Rome at the time. Some of the main artists of the age were involved in the building and decoration of the prestigious residence: Carlo Maderno, Gian Lorenzo Bernini and Francesco Borromini sought to outdo each other in a contest of elegance. as did Pietro da Cortona and Andrea Sacchi in their paintings for the palazzo.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Barberini family Original music - Rome private tour - RusRim.com Palazzo Barberini\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LGbKsW-ZaDA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" style=\"text-align: justify;\" align=\"CENTER\"><em>Everything, from the architecture to the magnificence of the frescoes and interior Furnishings had to re\ufb02ect the authority and af\ufb02uence of the line which had chosen this way of leaving an indelible mark on the heart of the city. In 1629, the year in which Maderno died, the palazzo had however only just been begun, so the building was then entrusted to Gian Lorenzo Bernini. the o\ufb01\u2018icial artiSI par excellence of the Barberinian court. He saw the construction through, collaborating at first with Francesco Borromini, in whose hands, according to Baldinucci, Maderno had left \u00abthe entire care of the palazzo\u00bb and who, Still in the words of the biographer did \u00aball the designs for the said building\u00bb. One of the most elaborate residences of Baroque Rome, and a re\ufb01ned theatre for the sumptuous feaSts organised by the family, grew from the meeting ofthese three masters. For inStance, on the evening of the 28 February 1656, the Cavallerizza courtyard, on the North side of the building and now part of Via Barberini, was host to a marvellous entertainment given in honour of Cristina of Sweden: a colourful merry-go\u2014round with an elegant parade of carriages and ephemeral displays devised by Giovan Francesco Grimaldi, the family scenographer, and a Fesrive throng.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"western\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Piazza Navona &#8211; <em>The <\/em><\/strong><em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.rusrim.com\/en\/video\/%D1%84%D0%BE%D0%BD%D1%82%D0%B0%D0%BD%D1%8B-%D1%80%D0%B8%D0%BC%D0%B0\/\">Baroque Rome fountains<\/a><\/span> &#8211; and Domiziano stadium<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"western\" style=\"text-align: justify;\" align=\"CENTER\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.rusrim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/piazza-navona-roma.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"Piazza Navona - Roma wp-image-1411 size-full aligncenter\" title=\"Piazza Navona - Roma\" src=\"http:\/\/www.rusrim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/piazza-navona-roma.jpg\" alt=\"Piazza Navona - Roma\" width=\"702\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.rusrim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/piazza-navona-roma.jpg 702w, http:\/\/www.rusrim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/piazza-navona-roma-300x128.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 702px) 100vw, 702px\" \/><\/a><em>Thanks to its original elongated form. <strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.rusrim.com\/en\/english-rome-private-tours\/english-piazza-navona-rome\/\">Piazza Navona<\/a><\/span><\/strong> deserves a foremost place among <\/em><em>Rome\u2019s numerous hiStorical piazzas.

The work of Borromini, it merges with the walls surrounding the piazza, copying the essential arehitecrural morifs and presenting an emblematic example of dynamic integration between the building and the space in front of it, which acts as an cxrension to the church and seems to disappear into it. In the l yout of the piazza, a role of no lesser importance is played by the three fountains which serve to break up the huge horizontal space into four distinct areas. The focus is the symbolic and actual centre of the Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi (Fountain of the Four Rivers), the work of Gian Lorenw Bernini. It is a spectacular allegory of the worldly presrige of the Pamphilj: an aerial \u00abnatural grotto\u00bb. The four springs of faraway rivers spout from it and it is studded with exoric plants and animals.

Pope Urban VIII Barberini had already instructed Gian Lorenzo Bernini to \u00abtransform\u00bb the piazza and the fountain. but the project was never carried out. Set along one side of Palazzo Poli, the Fountain, which was made by Nicola Salvi between 1732 and 1763, represents an original and imaginative fusion, in the Berninian Style, of architecture, sculpture and the natural elements which contribute to the Fountain\u2019s unique character. The theme of the sculpture is the sea. The design is dominated by a charior in the form of a shell in which the great statue of Neptune by Pietro Bracci stands, \ufb02anked in the side niches by Health and Plenty, the works of Filippo Della Valle. The charior is pulled by marine horses. who are in turn preceded by tritons. The marine divinities are placed on rocks of irregular blocks of travertine. The fountain sprawls below the facade of the palazzo behind it, which is in rigidly classicising Style, based on the triumphal arch model, with further sculptures in niches as well as in the attic storey and an elegant balustrade. The surrounding houses crowd round the splendid monument, giving the impression of an amphitheatre, while the noise of the fountain\u2019s water can be heard From the maze of surrounding streets up to the moment when the snow-white scene appears miraculously before the astonished eyes of the visitor.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Piazza della Repubblica\u00a0 \u2013 Piazza Esedra <\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>\u2013 Fontana delle Naiadi<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: left;\" align=\"CENTER\"><\/h4>\n<div id=\"attachment_50\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.rusrim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Piazza-republica-roma.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-50\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"Piazza della Repubblica - Roma wp-image-50 size-medium\" title=\"Piazza della Repubblica - Roma\" src=\"http:\/\/www.rusrim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Piazza-republica-roma-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Piazza della Repubblica - Roma\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.rusrim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Piazza-republica-roma-300x200.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.rusrim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Piazza-republica-roma.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-50\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong>Piazza della Repubblica &#8211; Roma<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>\u2013 Basilica Santa Maria degli angeli e dei Martiri (part of the Terme di Diocleziano emperor) by Michelangelo Buonarroti<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Basilica &#8211; Santa Maria degli angeli e dei Martiri<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_6353\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.rusrim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Basilica-di-Santa-Maria-degli-Angeli-Private-tour-of-Rome.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6353\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"Basilica di Santa Maria degli Angeli - Private tour of Rome wp-image-6353 size-full\" title=\"Basilica di Santa Maria degli Angeli - Private tour of Rome\" src=\"http:\/\/www.rusrim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Basilica-di-Santa-Maria-degli-Angeli-Private-tour-of-Rome.jpg\" alt=\"Basilica di Santa Maria degli Angeli - Private tour of Rome\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.rusrim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Basilica-di-Santa-Maria-degli-Angeli-Private-tour-of-Rome.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/www.rusrim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Basilica-di-Santa-Maria-degli-Angeli-Private-tour-of-Rome-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.rusrim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Basilica-di-Santa-Maria-degli-Angeli-Private-tour-of-Rome-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-6353\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong>Sun clock in the Basilica di Santa Maria degli Angeli &#8211; Rome private tour<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\" align=\"CENTER\"><strong>Astronomy in the Church The Clementine in Santa Maria degli Angeli, Rome\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\" align=\"CENTER\"><strong> <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"http:\/\/arxiv.org\/ftp\/arxiv\/papers\/1106\/1106.2976.pdf\">The Bianchini merian line &#8211; Astronomy in Rome<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_6355\" style=\"width: 843px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.rusrim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Santa-Maria-degli-angeli.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6355\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"Head of Giovanni il Battista - Sculpture of Igor Mitoraj wp-image-6355 size-full\" title=\"Head of Giovanni il Battista - Sculpture of Igor Mitoraj\" src=\"http:\/\/www.rusrim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Santa-Maria-degli-angeli.jpg\" alt=\"Head of Giovanni il Battista - Sculpture of Igor Mitoraj\" width=\"833\" height=\"553\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.rusrim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Santa-Maria-degli-angeli.jpg 833w, http:\/\/www.rusrim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Santa-Maria-degli-angeli-300x199.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.rusrim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Santa-Maria-degli-angeli-768x510.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 833px) 100vw, 833px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-6355\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong>Head of Giovanni il Battista &#8211;<\/strong><br \/><strong>Sculpture of Igor Mitoraj &#8211; Basilica S.

The Judaic war, which had ended in 70 AD with the destruction of the temple of Jerusalem, provided the boory and the manpower needed for the consrruction of the building. It was Vespasian\u2019s son, Titus, who inaugurated the amphitheatre in 80 AD, with a memorable gala and games lasring 100 days. The Flavian Amphitheatre was superior in dimensions and monumentaliry to all those previously built. It was 52 m high, like the northern side near the Via dei Fori lmperiali, which is still intaCt. The whole of the external wall was faced with marble slabs and decorated with statues in the arcades, and bronze shields hung From the attic storey windows. The organisation of the internal seating was Strictly governed by the laws eStablished by Augustus, through which spectators were seated according to their social class. The Colosseum was furnished with a sophisricated system of drains which fed the baths and numerous fountains required to keep the vast audience cool. In the amphitheatre there were various kinds of entertainment: \ufb01ghts between pairs of gladiators, hunts involving wild and exotic animals, naval battles and capital punishment executions by exposure to wild beasts, which were also suffered by Christians during periods of persecution.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"The colosseum 3D Original music by Adel K.

The temple \u2014 dedicated to all the gods \u2014 was intended to be a symbol of the Emperor Augustus and therefore of his family, the gens Iulia. The Pantheon owes its current appearance to the restrueturing conducted by Hadrian between 118 and 125 AD. This maintained the blueprint of the previous construCtion. except where the level of the base was raised and the width of the pronaos reduced to eight columns. The inscription on the architrave referring to the building of the temple by Agrippa was retained by Hadrian, who never had his name inscribed on any of the monuments he built, with the exception of Traian\u2019s temple. A second inscription in smaller letters records the restoration by Septimius Severus and Caracalla in 202 AD. In 609 AD the Byzantine Emperor Foca gave the Pantheon to Pope Boniface 1V, and the temple was changed into the Chiesa di Santa Maria ad Martyres. A \ufb02ight of steps led up to a large portico with eight monolithic granite columns with white marble capitals and bases. Two more rows of four columns formed the three aisles. The monumental bronze door is probably original. although it has been restored many times. The dome is the largeSt one built prior to the 20th century; it measures 43.30 metres in diameter and was built using a huge wooden framework. The use of layers of concrete alternated with tufa and pumice served to lessen the weight ofthe huge structure. The height of the temple from the floor to the top of the dome is equal to the diameter of the latter, meaning that a sphere could \ufb01t into the interior, so that there is a perfect balance in the building&#8217;s proportions. On the inside the dome is adorned with \ufb01ve rows of co\ufb02\u2018ering which were probably originally decorated with gilded bronze elements.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><iframe title=\"The pantheon - Rome private car tour - Italian song RusRim.com\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/C2r-DH5nHjI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><strong>Avenitino hill \u2013 Colle Aventino<\/strong><\/strong>\n<div id=\"attachment_1474\" style=\"width: 606px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.rusrim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Aventino-fountain-Rome-tours.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1474\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"Aventino - fountain - Rome private tours wp-image-1474 \" title=\"Aventino - fountain - Rome private tours\" src=\"http:\/\/www.rusrim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Aventino-fountain-Rome-tours.jpg\" alt=\"Aventino - fountain - Rome private tours\" width=\"596\" height=\"415\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.rusrim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Aventino-fountain-Rome-tours.jpg 754w, http:\/\/www.rusrim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Aventino-fountain-Rome-tours-300x209.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 596px) 100vw, 596px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1474\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Aventino &#8211; fountain &#8211; Rome private tours<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong><strong>\u2013 <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.rusrim.com\/en\/english-rome-private-tours\/english-santa-sabina-aventino-hill-roma\/\">Basilica di Santa Sabina<\/a><\/span> and Porta lignea di Santa Sabina<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1476\" style=\"width: 604px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.rusrim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Basilica-Santa-Sabina-Rome-car-excursion.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1476\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"Basilica Santa Sabina Rome car excursion wp-image-1476 size-full\" title=\"Basilica Santa Sabina Rome car excursion\" src=\"http:\/\/www.rusrim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Basilica-Santa-Sabina-Rome-car-excursion.jpg\" alt=\"Basilica Santa Sabina Rome car excursion\" width=\"594\" height=\"359\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.rusrim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Basilica-Santa-Sabina-Rome-car-excursion.jpg 594w, http:\/\/www.rusrim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Basilica-Santa-Sabina-Rome-car-excursion-300x181.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 594px) 100vw, 594px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1476\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong>Basilica Santa Sabina &#8211; Rome car excursion<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" align=\"CENTER\"><em> The Roman aristocratic families had built their sumptuous dwellings here, near the two thermal centres. The crypt of Santa Sabina bears the traces of\u00a0 their hermitages or little fraternal\u00a0 community, which was given hospitality in the house of a Roman matron, Sabina, who had been converted to Christianity by her slave Serafia and who was subsequently decapitated during the Empire ofVespasiano. Later, in the Early Middle Ages, the Aventine was selecred by monks and the religious as the seat of their hermitages or little Fraternal communities. In this context, from the fifth century onwards, one of the most imposing Palm-Christian basilicas of the city sprang up. The fourth century \ufb02oor of the Former domus is all that remains ofit, and it can be viewed through a grating near the entrance to the basilica, but many pieces ofwalling lie beneath the right aisle. The basilica was built in the \ufb01fth century and dedicated to San Domenico in 1222. Some restoration work was carried out in the 15th century, but it was the alterations by Domenico Fontana in 1587, at the time of Sixtus V, and Francesco Borromini in 1643, which would change the interior of the basilical complex fundamentally. Domenico Fontana demolished the trim\/a cantorum, the conostrm&#8217;: and the riborium, introducing the main altar and large baldacchino.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2013 The orange garden \u2013 Parco degli aranci <\/strong><em><em>and the romantic view of Rome in Vatican direction<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1475\" style=\"width: 556px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.rusrim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Orange-garden-Rome-excursions.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1475\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"Orange garden - Private excursions of Rome wp-image-1475\" title=\"Orange garden - Private excursions of Rome\" src=\"http:\/\/www.rusrim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Orange-garden-Rome-excursions-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Orange garden - Private excursions of Rome\" width=\"546\" height=\"364\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.rusrim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Orange-garden-Rome-excursions-300x200.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.rusrim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Orange-garden-Rome-excursions.jpg 756w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 546px) 100vw, 546px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1475\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong>Orange garden &#8211; Private excursions of Rome<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_1473\" style=\"width: 546px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.rusrim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Giardino-delle-Rose-ROMA-Guide.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1473\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"Giardino delle Rose - Rome private guide wp-image-1473\" title=\"Giardino delle Rose - Rome private guide\" src=\"http:\/\/www.rusrim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Giardino-delle-Rose-ROMA-Guide-300x224.jpg\" alt=\"Giardino delle Rose - Rome private guide\" width=\"536\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.rusrim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Giardino-delle-Rose-ROMA-Guide-300x224.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.rusrim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Giardino-delle-Rose-ROMA-Guide.jpg 697w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 536px) 100vw, 536px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1473\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong>Giardino delle Rose &#8211; Rome private guide<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>\u2013 Rome rose garden \u2013 Giardino delle rose \u2013 <\/strong><em>Over 1100 varieties of roses are grown there, many of them gifts from countries around the world.<br \/>\n<\/em><\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/youtu.be\/ziEa_e7fbT0<\/li>\n<li class=\"western\" style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<h6><strong>Sovereign Military Order of Malta &#8211; SMOM &#8211; Sovrano militare ordine di Malta<\/strong><\/h6>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div id=\"attachment_1472\" style=\"width: 373px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.rusrim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Papa-Francesco.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1472\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"The Pope Francesco in the Order of Malta wp-image-1472\" title=\"The Pope Francesco in the Order of Malta\" src=\"http:\/\/www.rusrim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Papa-Francesco-300x199.jpg\" alt=\"The Pope Francesco in the Order of Malta\" width=\"363\" height=\"241\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.rusrim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Papa-Francesco-300x199.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.rusrim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Papa-Francesco.jpg 413w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 363px) 100vw, 363px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1472\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong>The Pope Francesco in the Order of Malta<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" align=\"CENTER\">Order of Malta square \u2013 Sovrano militare ordine di Malta Roma \u2013 Piazza Cavalieri di Malta \u2013 Sovereign Military Order of Malta (SMOM) or Order of Malta is the modern Rome-based continuation of the medieval Knights Hospitaller.\u00a0\u00a0 The entity retains sovereignty under international law, including permanent observer status at the United Nations,\u00a0 issuing its own passports, currency and postal stamps with the Maltese cross insignia.

The height of the monument (about 40 m) matches the one on the hill. which was dismantled when the complex of the Markets and the Forum was built, as the inscription on the base of the column states. The top of the monument was crowned with a bronze statue of Trajan which has not survived; it was replaced by one of Saint Peter in 1588. The base is in the form\u00a0 of an altar similar to the funerarv altars of the Republican Age, and it served as a tomb for the Emperor; Trajan\u2019s ashes were kept in a gold urn placed in the burial chamber inside the base of the column. Here there is a hail leading to a spiral staircase made of marble, with 1 85 steps leading from the base to the top of the monument. Termed a cochlite column, like that of Marcus Aurelius, due to the presence of a spiral within the shaft, it was conceived by Trajan\u2019s architect. Apollodorus of Damascus. On the outside, the long spiral frieze recounts the two Dacian campaigns with a figure of Victory writing on a shield separating them, but no attempt to create a link between them. The crossing of the Danube by the Roman army on a bridge of boats marks the beginning of the wars, and there follow battles, sieges, the setting up of encampments, the placing of troops and the submission of the indigenous chiefs to the Emperor.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Video3D &#8211; The aurelian column &#8211; Colonna Aureliana &#8211;\u00a0original music Adel Karanov private guide in rome<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><iframe title=\"The aurelian column 3D - Rome private tours with driver guide RusRim.com\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KlghJPPcIpk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Mercati di Traiano \u2013 Mercatus Traiani \u2013 <\/strong><em><em>Trajan\u2019s Market was probably built in 100-110 AD by Apollodorus of Damascus.<br \/>\n<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_6350\" style=\"width: 614px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.rusrim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Mercati-Traiani-Rome-private-tour.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6350\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"Mercatus Traiani - Mercati Traiani - Rome private tour wp-image-6350 size-large\" title=\"Mercatus Traiani - Mercati Traiani - Rome private tour\" src=\"http:\/\/www.rusrim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Mercati-Traiani-Rome-private-tour-1024x614.jpg\" alt=\"Mercati Traiani - Rome private tour\" width=\"604\" height=\"362\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.rusrim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Mercati-Traiani-Rome-private-tour-1024x614.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/www.rusrim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Mercati-Traiani-Rome-private-tour-300x180.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.rusrim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Mercati-Traiani-Rome-private-tour-768x461.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.rusrim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Mercati-Traiani-Rome-private-tour-1536x922.jpg 1536w, http:\/\/www.rusrim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Mercati-Traiani-Rome-private-tour-2048x1229.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 604px) 100vw, 604px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-6350\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong>Mercati Traiani &#8211; Rome private tour<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n<p><em>The huge architecrural complex of the forum and Trajan\u2019s Markets was until late antiquity considered the most famous of Rome\u2019s wonders.

Is was designed in its monumental setting by Michelangelo in 1536, under the patronage of Paul III Farnese. It arguably represents the most perfect translation of the concept of the piazza as an autonomous urban space in 16th century culture. Ina masterly reinterpretation of the classic concept of the piazza, Michelangelo reversed the outlook, which had until then been oriented towards the Roman Forum, placing the statue of Marcus Aurelius in the middle to face Saint Peter&#8217;s Basilica. As background, he devised the complete rebuilding of the medieval Palazzo Senatorio, which rose above the ruins of the former Tabularium, and the side wings, made up of the Palazzo dei Conservatori and the Palazzo Nuovo. <\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><iframe title=\"Campidoglio in Rome - 3D Electronic music Rusrim.com Car tours of Rome\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/tP7Cu0r7T7Y?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>The latter were completed according to she artist&#8217;s plans respectively in 1568 and 1655.

The geometric star design oldie paving, which was implemented in 1940 by Antonio Munoz based on the plans left by Buonarroti, also emphasises the centrifugal, dynamic dimension of the whole. The robust and imposing plasticity of the architecture adds to the sober stateliness of this area. The fa\u00e7ade of Palazzo Senatorio eras adapted from the Michelangelesque plan by Giacomo Della Porta and Girolamo Rainaldi, with its entrance facing the piazza, characteristic double flights of steps, stucco facing and row of gigantic Corinthian pilaster strips. The balustrade looking out over the city, with its monumental Dioscuri, was also conceived to complement the piazza, and was modified by Della Porta in 1585.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div id=\"attachment_6510\" style=\"width: 1290px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.rusrim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Rome-with-private-guide.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6510\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"Rome with private guide wp-image-6510 size-full\" title=\"Rome with private guide\" src=\"http:\/\/www.rusrim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Rome-with-private-guide.jpg\" alt=\"Rome with private guide\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.rusrim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Rome-with-private-guide.jpg 1280w, http:\/\/www.rusrim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Rome-with-private-guide-300x300.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.rusrim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Rome-with-private-guide-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/www.rusrim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Rome-with-private-guide-150x150.jpg 150w, http:\/\/www.rusrim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Rome-with-private-guide-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-6510\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rome with private guide<\/p><\/div>\n<p><iframe title=\"Capitoline museums - original music - private tour in Rome - part 2 RusRim\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ZYNampMp3o8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer;

The young architeCt Bramante conceived it as a genuine martyrium in antique style. with a central plan and a circle of perimeter columns. The building must have been placed in a large square, which, however. was never built. In spite of the reduced size, the space has been planned in grandiose, monumental Style. It is evidently based on the study of the rules of harmony of the Roman Vitruvius, who advised the use of the Doric order of columns for buildings dedicated to masculine divinitics or mythological \ufb01gures famous for their sum and courage. The architeCt Bramante did in Fact use the Doric order for the tempietto. giving it an air of rigour and economy, which is also due to limited use of excessive decoration and the sober harmony of the volumes.<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Fontana Paolina o Fontana dell\u2019Acqua Paola \u2013 Il fontanone The big fountain <\/strong><strong><strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1451\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.rusrim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/fontana-paola-roma-rome-individual-tour.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1451\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"Fontana Paola - Roma - Rome Individual tours wp-image-1451 size-medium\" title=\"Fontana Paola - Roma - Rome Individual tours\" src=\"http:\/\/www.rusrim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/fontana-paola-roma-rome-individual-tour-300x194.jpg\" alt=\"Fontana Paola - Roma - Rome Individual tours\" width=\"300\" height=\"194\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.rusrim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/fontana-paola-roma-rome-individual-tour-300x194.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.rusrim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/fontana-paola-roma-rome-individual-tour.jpg 757w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1451\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fontana Paola &#8211; Roma &#8211; Rome Individual tours<\/p><\/div>\n<p><em>It was built in 1612 to mark the end of the Acqua Paola aqueduct, restored by Pope Paul V, and took its name from him.

Abbot of San Dionigi and Ambassador of Charles VIII. gave Buonarroti the commission for the very famous sculptural group, which was to be placed in the chapel of Santa Petronilla in the ancient Basilica of Saint Peter. The same patron asked the artiSt to follow a northern iconographic model of the Virgin holding the body of her son in her arms after the deposition from the cross. As opposed to the composition of the German original, frozen in an unnatural scheme. Michelangelo. however, preferred to create an image of extreme naturalness, with soft, \ufb02uid lines. It is the only work signed by him, on the sash which crosses the Virgin\u2019s breasr. The signature, according to Vasari, indicated the pride of the artist in his achievement. The lyrical intensity of the work. the refined smoothness of the marble and the plasticity of the forms all contribute to make it a work of perfect equilibrium. The absorbed expression on the face of Mary reveals her withheld grief; the body of Jesus. surrendered in exhaustion to the immense pain it has borne, brings the holy scene into the dimension of humanity; the fineness of the garments, the monumental composition and the perfecrion of the Features and anatomy endow the scene with a divine aura and timelessness. Perhaps it was this \u00ababsolute\u00bb beauty which led to the famous episode so frequently mentioned since, when, on Whit Sunday, May 21 1972. a madman attacked the group with a hammer, entailing a lengthy period of restoration to repair the damage and \ufb01ll the holes.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Michelangelo - Sistine chapel - Vatican private tour RusRim.com\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rgmEw2Sjy44?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.rusrim.com\/en\/english-rome-private-tours\/english-colonna-gallery-private-tour-in-rome\/\">Palazzo Colonna<\/a> <\/span>and gardens &#8211; Rome<\/strong><\/h6>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><em>Exclusive visit &#8211; saturday morning<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_45\" style=\"width: 282px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.rusrim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Palazzo-Colonna-Roma.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-45\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"Palazzo Colonna Roma - Rome private guide wp-image-45\" title=\"Palazzo Colonna Roma - Rome private guide\" src=\"http:\/\/www.rusrim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Palazzo-Colonna-Roma-300x180.jpg\" alt=\"Palazzo Colonna Roma - Rome private guide\" width=\"272\" height=\"163\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.rusrim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Palazzo-Colonna-Roma-300x180.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.rusrim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Palazzo-Colonna-Roma-1024x614.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 272px) 100vw, 272px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-45\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Palazzo Colonna Roma &#8211; Rome private guide<\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Palazzo Colonna is one of the oldest and largest private palaces of Rome. Its construction began in the fourteenth century by the Colonna family, who still resides there since eight centuries. The Colonna family dates back to the twelfth century and comes from the town of Colonna, near Rome, from which it takes its name. The construction of the various wings of Palazzo Colonna lasted for five centuries. This has led to the overlapping of different architectural styles, interiors and exteriors, which characterize and reflect the different periods. From 1300 to 1500 it acted as a family fortress. Oddone Colonna, elected Pope on November 11, 1417 under the name of Martin V, appointed the Palace as the Pontifical Seat and lived there from 1420 to 1431, the year of his death. In those ten years, within the austere rooms of Palazzo Colonna,<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Galleria Colonna - Rome Private tour - original music - RusRim.com Rome car tours\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ntkcQ1hKwsk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Pope Martin V designed and implemented a great plan for a cultural, urban and administrative rebirth of the city of Rome, which lay in devastating conditions after the period of papal exile to Avignon and the Western Schism. In 1527, during the sack of Rome by the troops of Emperor Charles V, Palazzo Colonna was one of the few buildings that was not destroyed due to the good relationship of the family with the Empire. Instead, it offered a safe haven for more than three thousand Roman citizens. Throughout the 1600s, the Palace took the form of a large Baroque palace at the will of three generations; the leading family members being Philip I, Cardinal Girolamo I and Lorenzo Onofrio, who relied on architects and artists of great skill and reputation. In fact, Gian Lorenzo Bernini, Antonio del Grande, Carlo Fontana, Paolo Schor, and many others, all lent their expertise. Also during this time was the construction of the beautiful and majestic Galleria Colonna, which has 76 meters of length facing onto via IV Novembre. This authentic jewel of the Roman Baroque is now open to the public, with apartments of major artistic value that are most representative of the Palace. \u00a0Atruejewel of Roman the Baroque, the Galleria Colonna was commissioned in the mid 1600s by Cardinal Girolamo I Colonna and his nephew Lorenzo Onofrio Colonna. It was inaugurated by Lorenzo Onofrio&#8217;s son, Philip II, in 1700. The original project is by the architect Antonio del Grande; it was then integrated by Gian Lorenzo Bernini, Paolo Schor and Carlo Fontana in the last decade of the 1600s. From the very beginning, the Gallery was conceived as a large boardroom, which was to celebrate the victory of the Christian fleet over the Turks at the Battle of Lepanto in 1571. The commander of the Papal fleet, Marcantonio II Colonna, is depicted numerous times throughout the vault of the Great Hall of the Gallery and in the Room of the Battle Column. The fresco on the vault above the Room of the Battle Column is by Giuseppe Chiari and depicts the presentatiou of Marcantonio to the Virgin Mary in heaven. The room takes its name from the column of red marble on a pedestal in the center of the room, which recalls the family coat of arms. Its inlays have reminiscent scenes of ancient Roman life.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Rome private tours - Colonna Gallery - original electronic music - RusRim.com Rome tours\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/oPiysppC1NY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_6519\" style=\"width: 2570px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.rusrim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Palazzo-Colonna-Rome-Italy.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6519\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"Palazzo Colonna - Rome - Italy wp-image-6519 size-full\" title=\"Palazzo Colonna - Rome - Italy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.rusrim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Palazzo-Colonna-Rome-Italy.jpg\" alt=\"Palazzo Colonna - Rome - Italy\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1536\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.rusrim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Palazzo-Colonna-Rome-Italy.jpg 2560w, http:\/\/www.rusrim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Palazzo-Colonna-Rome-Italy-300x180.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.rusrim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Palazzo-Colonna-Rome-Italy-1024x614.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/www.rusrim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Palazzo-Colonna-Rome-Italy-768x461.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.rusrim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Palazzo-Colonna-Rome-Italy-1536x922.jpg 1536w, http:\/\/www.rusrim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Palazzo-Colonna-Rome-Italy-2048x1229.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-6519\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong>Palazzo Colonna &#8211; Rome &#8211; Italy<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>VIDEO: Arcibasilica di San giovanni in Laterano &#8211; musica Adel Karanov<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"San Giovanni in Laterano - Rome private tour - Original music - RusRim.com Rome car excursions\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5Qy0LC6SydE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_6520\" style=\"width: 1290px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.rusrim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/San-giovanni-in-Laterano-Rome-car-tour.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6520\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"San Giovanni in Laterano - Arcibasilica - Rome car tour wp-image-6520 size-full\" title=\"San Giovanni in Laterano - Arcibasilica - Rome car tour\" src=\"http:\/\/www.rusrim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/San-giovanni-in-Laterano-Rome-car-tour.jpg\" alt=\"San Giovanni in Laterano - Arcibasilica - Rome car tour\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.rusrim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/San-giovanni-in-Laterano-Rome-car-tour.jpg 1280w, http:\/\/www.rusrim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/San-giovanni-in-Laterano-Rome-car-tour-300x300.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.rusrim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/San-giovanni-in-Laterano-Rome-car-tour-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/www.rusrim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/San-giovanni-in-Laterano-Rome-car-tour-150x150.jpg 150w, http:\/\/www.rusrim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/San-giovanni-in-Laterano-Rome-car-tour-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-6520\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong>San Giovanni in Laterano &#8211; Arcibasilica &#8211; Rome car tour<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n<h5 class=\"entry-title\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.rusrim.com\/en\/english-rome-private-tours\/english-santa-maria-sopra-minerva-rome-private-tour\/\">Santa Maria sopra Minerva<\/a><\/span><\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The name of the Dominican church erected in the area which was at one time reserved for Egyptian worship, the lseum has always been associated with the nearby temple of Min-erva Chalcidica. The interior houses exceptional works from the end of the 13th century to the 79th century, when the building un-derwent a radical restoration. Besides the superb cycle of frescoes by Filippino Lippi, the funeral monuments of five Pontiffs from Leo X to Benedict XIII are important. The 1600s are well represented by the sculptures in the Aldobran-dini Chapel and a famous work by Bernini. Catherine of Siena, pa-tron saint of Italy and co-patron saint of Europe; and the Domini-can painter, Fra Angelico are buried in the church.<\/p>\n<h1><a href=\"http:\/\/www.rusrim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Santa-Maria-sopra-Minerva-Roma.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"Santa Maria sopra Minerva - Roma wp-image-8247 size-large\" title=\"Santa Maria sopra Minerva - Roma\" src=\"http:\/\/www.rusrim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Santa-Maria-sopra-Minerva-Roma-1024x614.jpg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 604px) 100vw, 604px\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.rusrim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Santa-Maria-sopra-Minerva-Roma-1024x614.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/www.rusrim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Santa-Maria-sopra-Minerva-Roma-300x180.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.rusrim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Santa-Maria-sopra-Minerva-Roma-768x460.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.rusrim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Santa-Maria-sopra-Minerva-Roma-1536x920.jpg 1536w, http:\/\/www.rusrim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Santa-Maria-sopra-Minerva-Roma.jpg 1906w\" alt=\"Santa Maria sopra Minerva - Roma\" width=\"604\" height=\"362\" \/><\/a><\/h1>\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\">ROMA<\/h1>\n<div id=\"attachment_6113\" style=\"width: 614px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.rusrim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Rome-private-tour.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6113\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"Rome private tour wp-image-6113 size-large\" title=\"Rome private tour\" src=\"http:\/\/www.rusrim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Rome-private-tour-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Rome private tour\" width=\"604\" height=\"340\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.rusrim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Rome-private-tour-1024x576.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/www.rusrim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Rome-private-tour-300x169.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.rusrim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Rome-private-tour-768x432.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.rusrim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Rome-private-tour-1536x864.jpg 1536w, http:\/\/www.rusrim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Rome-private-tour-2048x1152.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 604px) 100vw, 604px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-6113\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Private tours of Rome<\/p><\/div>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.rusrim.com\/en\/\u0440\u0438\u043c-\u0442\u0443\u0440\u044b-\u043d\u0430-\u043c\u0430\u0448\u0438\u043d\u0435\/english-rome-private-tours\/\">PRIVATE CAR TOURS OF ROME<\/a><\/span>\u00a0and AROUND ROME \u2013 RUSRIM.COM<br \/>\nSmall group tours in minivans ensuring the highest level of comfort.
