Macabre Rome † Tour in Peace
Skulls. Bones. Beauty. Smile in the face of death on this dreadful tour of the departed!
Setting off from Piazza Barberini and Bernini's iconic Fountain of the Triton, morbid curiosity soon prevails inside the spooky bone church concealed behind this busy Roman square! A bizarre place adorned with fragments of former lives, some of which date back to 1631.
Catch a frightful glimpse of "St. Francis in Meditation" by Caravaggio, the original master of dark art. Before parting company with the skeletal remains, you will come face to face with an inscription that reads "What you are now, we once were. What we are now, you will be". To live, is to die.
Along Via Nomentana, one of the most beautiful places in Rome is hidden in plain sight. You will find a mausoleum, a necropolis, and deep catacombs concealed beneath a partially buried basilica.
In conclusion, close to the ancient Appian Way, make your descent down to cobwebbed crypts and the terrifying Tomb Tunnels! These dreary and forbidding passages were once sanctuary for the devoted, who visited to honour their dead.
You will tour two of the deepest catacombs and discover unimaginably colourful frescoes depicting pagan images and early biblical influences, seemingly untouched by the ravages of time. One of these deep subterranean sites is known as "The Little Vatican".
Formerly "Best of Buried Rome", Tour in Peace is all the most disturbing parts of that tour plus the Tomb Tunnels. It tells a truly macabre tale about the meaning of death after life!
