What To Expect
Campo de' Fiori
We will begin just before nightfall at the foot of the statue of Giordano Bruno in Rome's iconic Piazza Campo de’ Fiori where your guide will explain the Dominican Friar’s very unorthodox cosmological theories and beliefs which lead to his eventual public execution by burning. We will also cover Bruno’s consideration as a freemason by Italy’s masonic community.

Chiesa di Santa Maria in Monserrato degli Spagnoli
We will pass along Via Monserrato to the women’s prison where the condemned Beatrice Cenci spent her last days awaiting her execution by decapitation. From here we will continue on to the Spanish National Church, the burial site of the infamous Borgia Pope Alexander VI. The bizarre story of his burial and favourite mistress will capture your full attention as we make our way to the next stop.

St. Angelo Bridge
Overlooking the Tiber River at the Sant’ Angelo bridge with the stunningly lit facade of Castel Sant’ Angelo providing our backdrop, your guide will tell the story of Beatrice Cenci and describe the history of criminal justice in Papal Rome.

Piazza Navona
We will stop in Piazza Navona by Palazzo Doria Pamphilj where the infamous Olimpia Maidalchini aka la Pimpaccia lived and worked until the death of her patron, Pope Innocent X. After her mysterious death the sightings of her black carriage rushing out of the city across Ponte Sisto still haunt Rome to this day. Still in Piazza Navona, your guide will point out that one of the buildings seems to be inhabited by a disembodied hand of the Lady Costanza De Cupris and here you will learn her story.
