Highlights
  • Campo de’ Fiori - We begin in one of Rome’s most famous piazzas, Campo de’ Fiori. Now known for its lively bars and gastronomic scene, it was once an execution site making it the perfect place to start our spooky adventure!

  • Piazza Farnese - Hear about the lavish parties that were hosted in this square by the wealthy elite and learn the legend of its secret passageway.

  • Via del Mascherone & Vicolo dei Venti - Several madonelles or “little madonnas’ decorate our route and we’ll learn about how they once worked to stop crime.

  • Ponte Sisto - Ponte Sisto is not only famous for being the oldest bridge in Rome, it also has a gruesome past that involved tragic accidents, power struggles, theft and of course, suspicious deaths.

  • Fontana del Mascherone - You’re not supposed to drink from the fountains in Rome but if you dare drink from this one, it will have deadly consequences.

  • Chiesa di Santa Maria dell’Orazione e Morte - This 17th century church is made from human bones and reminds visitors that death is closer than we think.

  • Via di Monserrato - This is one of the most haunted apartment blocks in the city and was once the site of one the worst prison in Rome’s history.

  • Chiesa di Santa Maria in Monserrato degli Spagnoli - This Spanish church in the heart of Rome has a scandalous story worthy of a telenovela.

  • Via Giulia - At this former beauty shop you’ll learn a story of when cosmetics can kill.

  • Via dell’Arco dei Banchi - This quaint house was the childhood home of “Mastro Titta”, one of Rome’s most famous executioners.

  • Castel Sant’Angelo - The bridge now surrounded by statues of angels was once used to expose the bodies of the executed as a warning to sinners. Here you’ll listen to the story of the Cenci family and how they met their fatal end.

A ‘spicy’ way to see the city… - Sarah was friendly and approachable with a good sense of humour. Her love for the city came through in her presentation. Her stories brought otherwise innocuous parts of the city to life and the 2 hour tour flew by effortlessly. She modified parts of her stories for our 12 year old without losing any quality or entertainment. A wonderful way to spend the evening and see Rome. Highly recommend.

The dark side of Rome’s citizens - Diletta delivered a great tour, full of dark stories and tragic circumstances. It was very interesting and my young teens found it interesting as well. Covered a wide range of stories that get the imagination going! My only negative comment is that at times it was very difficult to hear over the noise in some piazzas.
