Begun in the year 72 AD, it was completed eight years later. The amphitheater has a diameter of 620 feet in its widest section and 490 feet in its narrowest. During its inauguration, which lasted for a hundred days five thousand wild animals were slaughtered. Animal entertainments formed a part of the games and normally took place in the morning, till noon. Executions were another common feature of the Roman games. They took place at midday as an interlude between the animal in the morning sessions ant the gladiatorial combat in the afternoon. Although the executions were seen as symbolizing Rome’s and Emperor’s powers the senators and the higher classes, who have the best seats for the show, normally took advantage of the interval to live the arena to dine. The executions of deserters, prisoners-pf-war-, criminals from the lower classes, first Christians, were crucifixions or damnationes ad bestias, in which they would fight, with their hands, face to face with wild animals. Shows were always free, with pre-assigned day and seat inside the theatre. The Roman Forum was the political, commercial, and religious center of ancient Rome. The project was made in the valley between the Palatine and the Capitol hills, not far from the Aventine hill and the river Tiber. The VIA SACRA, which traverse the Forum from north-west to south-east, was the main street used for impressive military parades. The Temples, the arches, the Basilicas inside the Forum were constructed over the course of 900 years.   Lunch at leisure Take your time in the afternoon for shopping.

Enjoy a private tour of the squares of Rome, starting from piazza Navona.   We start a walking tour with PIAZZA NAVONA, that still preserves the shape of the Stadium of Domitian, built at the end of 1st century A.D. The central fountain of the Four Rivers was made by Bernini in 1651. From the low basin rises a rock, pierced in the middle, on which are arranged the figures of four rivers also symbolizing four continents: the Danube, the Ganges, the Nile, and Rio de la Plata. Just a few block away, there is the oldest monument in central Rome, the Pantheon. This monument was built by Hadrian in 120 AD. The temple dedicated to all gods (pan theon), had already been erected by Agrippa between 27 and 25 B.C. on the same site and in 609 it was converted into a Church, the first temple in Rome to be Christianized. The original temple was built to commemorate the victory over Antony and Cleopatra at Actium. The interior is circular and measures 43,3 meters in diameter and in height. Along the walls, are a series of rectangular and semi-circular niches. Recent investigations have allowed scholars to determine how great was the technical skill required to build it. The temple rests on a heavy foundation wall, in the shape of ring, made of concrete, covered with travertine blocks measuring some 4,5 by 7 meters. At the summit of the pediment the travertine yields to brick, while in the dome itself only light brick and light volcanic stones were used, so that this vast dome would weigh as little as possible. The use of light from the opening in the roof displays the genius of the architect. Inside, the second chapel houses the tomb of Vittorio Emanuele II, first king of Italy. The third edicola is the tomb of Raphael. Your nice stroll in town is almost at the end. Few minutes ahead and you are in front of Trevi Fountain. The custom is to throw a coin into the water, over your left shoulder while facing away, to ensure you return in Rome. Toss a second coin and you’ll fall in love with an Italian. After the fountain, you will end the walking tour by the Spanish steps (in Italian Piazza di Spagna). The tour last about 2 hours, and you can take a break whenever you wish.

In the centre of the piazza is an obelisk brought to Rome by Caligula from ancient Egypt. The dome of St.Peter's dominates the city and could once be seen from miles away.

Breakfast at the Hotel and transfer to Perugia Meet your native Guide and enjoy a walking guided tour in town, it a rare case of city that preserves Etruscans, Romans and Medioeval walls. The heart of Perugia historical city centre is Piazza Grande (now also known as Piazza IV Novembre). Piazza IV Novembre has been the centre of civil and religious power in the city since it was established by the Etruscans. In the centre of the square stands the impressive Fontana Maggiore, the city symbol and one of the finest Medieval fountains in Italy. It was completed in the late 13th century. A walk around the lower basin takes you past paneled scenes from the Old Testament, the story of the founding of Rome, an astrological calendar that appears to relate to local farming practices, and a representation of the seven arts. The 14th-century Palazzo dei Priori, leads off from the left of the fountain along the main street Corso Vannucci. The Basilica of San Lorenzo in Perugia is one of the city's main places of worship and historical monuments. It is a cathedral with a long history and many artistic and religious elements of interest. Here is a brief itinerary to discover the basilica and the Holy Ring Start your tour from Piazza IV Novembre, where the main facade of the Basilica of San Lorenzo is located. The facade is unfinished but presents an interesting contrast between the white and pink stone parts. Notice the architectural details and sculptures, including the Gothic portal and the windows. Enter the basilica and admire the Gothic architecture of the interior, with its high naves and elegant columns. The basilica contains numerous works of art, including frescoes, paintings, and sculptures. Don't miss: Chapel of the Holy Ring: located to the right of the main altar, this chapel houses the Holy Ring, an important reliquary. It is said that the ring is the one with which the Virgin Mary was married to Saint Joseph. If required we can add in the plan the Holy Mass in Perugia Visit of the Rocca Paolina and Saint Peter's church in Perugia The fortress of Rocca Paolina in Perugia is a place that you absolutely should visit during your stay in Umbria. Rocca Paolina is a monumental fortress on a hill overlooking the centre of Perugia. It was built around year 1540 by the will of Pope Paul III Farnese - that's the origin of its name. The incredible thing of the Rocca is that it is not just a single building, but a sort of a city within the city. They had to build the fortress, but there was a pre-existing neighbourhood. Instead of demolishing the buildings, they decided to incorporate them into the fortress. They simply covered the streets with vaults of bricks and rocks. And now you can walk in an underground medieval town! Lunch at leisure. If you decide to taste something local, try a 'PANINO CON LA PORCHETTA'. There is a kiosk, Granieri Porchetta, 300 feet from the main square: a panino con la porchetta (a sort sandwich with sliced pork) It is a must for me every time I visit Perugia city centre. Visit Perugia at leisure and have an excellent coffee of aperitivo in one of the cafes of the city centre. Perugia has a strong artistic and cultural tradition. It was home in the 15th century to fresco painters Pietro Vannucci (nicknamed Perugino) and his pupils Pinturicchio. The Music Conservatory was founded in1788. The UNIVERSITY FOR FOREIGNERS, established in 1925, attracts thousands of students from all over the world. The city hosts multiple annual festivals and events such as EUROCHOCOLATE FESTIVAL (October) and UMBRIA JAZZ FESTIVAL (July). The city is in fact the home of the best version of chocolate: BACIO, the mouth-watering chocolate-coated hazelnuts made in Perugia. Everyone in the world knows the Perugina chocolate factory (famous for the praline called Bacio), currently owned by 'Nestlé', one of the biggest global companies producing food products. Optional at leisure: MUSEUM NATIONAL GALLERY OF UMBRIA Entering the National Gallery of Umbria means leaving room for surprise. It means listening to the voice of time, appreciating the continuity between the artistic heritage produced over the centuries and the present we live in. The National Gallery of Umbria houses one of the richest art collections in Italy and is, at the same time, a treasure chest of the city's memory of Perugia. The works become milestones of a journey that starts from the 13th and reaches the 19th century, an unforgettable journey in the artistic and cultural history of Umbria and Italy. The works are exhibited on the upper floors of the Palazzo dei Priori in Perugia, seat of the Municipality since medieval times and the only Italian public building to house a large national museum. 3500 square metres of exhibition distributed in 40 rooms, a tower and a chapel, for an 800-year journey through the history of Italian art. Dinner in a local restaurant in Assisi

Breakfast at the Hotel. Around 8.30 depart to discover, two jewels of central Umbria, Bevagna and Spello at leisure. Along the road to reach Bevagna, right on the outskirts of Assisi, you cannot miss a short stop to visit the Sacred Hovel of Rivotorto. The building, today entrusted to the care of the Order of Friars Minor Conventual, was created with the aim of preserving the structures of the Sacred Hovel, that is, the place where Saint Francis gathered his followers before obtaining possession of the Porziuncola. The interior, in addition to the suggestive view of the Hovel, is embellished with twelve 17th century canvases, painted by Cesare Sermei, which depict some episodes of the life of Saint Francis during the period spent in Rivotorto. The Franciscan Sources (what the Friars have transmitted to us of the events linked to the life of Saint Francis) and more specifically in the Legend of the Three Companions (a biography elaborated by the friars Rufino, Leone and Angelo who tell the life of Francis as a growing conformation to Christ) tell us about the beginnings of the first Franciscan Fraternity right in the Hovel. Bevagna was an early Etruscan settlement. Around 80 BC it became a Roman municiupium (MEVANIA). There are important remains of a temple near the north gate, of a theatre into modern houses in via dell'Anfiteatro. The town has a complete ring of medieval stone walls that are said to be close, if not identical with the Roman walls. Around the year 1000, it was a free 'comune'. In 1152 Frederick Barbarossa set it on fire. The TRINCI family ruled here from 1371 to 1439. Later it was included in the Papal State, till the unification of Italy, in 1870. The legendary account of Francis of Assisi preaching to the birds took place outside the village. The stone on which he allegedly stood when preaching to the birds is now inside the Ciccoli Chapel of the Church of St. Francis. Beside the history and the artistic beauties, Bevagna is well known for its dishes and typical products: Honey, Extravirgin Olive oil, the Sagrantino DOCG wine, Porchetta and Truffle. A must is (even) just enter one of the butcher or grocery shops in town. Light lunch in an exclusive wine cellar. The farmer Roberto will guide you to discover the best local excellent wines: Sagrantino DOCG monocultivar, Grechetto DOC and Montefalco Rosso DOCG. They were the first cellars licensed as Enoturismo, a cellar where the guest can have an excellent guided wine tasting. Then, with some 20 miles drive you will reach Spello. Spello (ancient Hispellum) is an ancient free commune of Umbria, on the lower flank of Mont Subasio. The old, walled town lies on sloping ridge, which eventually meets the plain. From the top of the ridge, Spello commands a good view of the Umbrian plain towards Perugia, like a backstage; at the bottom of the ridge, the town spills out of its walls into a small and more modern section (by the locals called BORGO). The streets within the walls, retains its medieval aspect; the town is included in ring of medieval walls, built on previous walls of the Roman foundations, including three Roman Late Antique Gates (Porta di Augusto, Porta di Venere and Porta Consolare). Among the many churches, the more interested are Santa Maria Maggiore, built over a pagan Temple dedicated to Vesta, S. Andrea, with an altarpiece of Pinturicchio, S. Lorenzo, S. Claudio, that it is said to have been built on the remains of an early Christian cemetery. Other sites of interest are the 'Old Town Hall' (1270), Palazzo dei Canonici, that houses the Pinacoteca Civica (Town's Art Gallery), Palazzo Baglioni and Palazzo Cruciali. Spello is a beautiful and colourful village, known above all for its alleys covered with fragrant flowers in particular in June. Nice 'passeggiata' in the city centre. I can suggest to visit two hidden places in Spello: The Galleria Luigi Proietti http://www.museonorberto.com/ a nice small art gallery in the main street of Spello, Via Cavour n. 61, with the masterpieces of the famous local artist Norberto (the real name is Luigi Proietti). His favourite subjects are the local Franciscan friars and the countryside of Assisi. The artist Norberto is famous all over the world for its singular masterpieces. the Roman Villa in Spello: The Roman Villa in Spello is renowned for its well-preserved mosaics and historical significance. This site offers a glimpse into the luxurious life of ancient Rome. Admire intricate 2nd-century AD mosaics depicting geometric patterns, mythology, and daily life. Visit the courtyard and imagine the original garden layout with greenery and fountains. Address: Villa dei Mosaici, Via dell'Innamorati - villamosaicispello.it If interested we have to reserve in good advance The "Big Event" in Spello is "The Infiorate", which take place every year on the Corpus Domini feast (always on the ninth Sunday after Easter, according to Christian calendar). It takes a whole night, when almost a thousand people work without stopping to create imagines and carpets made of flowers, along the old town's narrow streets. This is just the beginning of the feast, when the Blessed Sacrament is carried in procession by the local bishop, on Sunday morning. The result is a mile-long path of beautiful (and every year different) floral creations, with an explosion of colours and smell. Dinner in a local typical Restaurant in Assisi
