Rome Trip Overview
Rome has kilometers of tunnels underground.
They were excavated by slaves to build the eternal city with the material.
It will take you to see galleries illuminated by warm LED lights that reveal the signs of the chisels produced by ancient fossores, Roman workers who quarried pozzolana, often in exchange for their lives
An ancient past made up of lights and shadows, where history is written in every wrinkle of the walls, in every sign and in every niche
We will then pass in the area of the catacombs where the first Christians buried their loved ones in tunnels produced in the Roman hills, for tens and tens of kilometers.
So what are you waiting for to come and experience the faint light of the fossores, produced by the Roman oil lamps which for thousands of years have represented the only tool to move in the long and superb meanders of the Roman quarry of the Appian Way.
Do not miss this appointment with history … it is not a visit but an experience.
