In this journey, we will step away from the crowds to explore the lush, hidden gardens of Trastevere where time seems to stand still, wander along the historic Appian Way to find forgotten chapels steeped in centuries of silence, and descend into the eerie yet fascinating underground catacombs and crypts that tell stories of early Christianity.
