Er Fontanone ~ nickname meaning 'The' Big Fountain, built in 1610 by Flaminio Ponzio and Domenico Fontana using an Ancient Roman aqueduct, called the Trajan acqueduct from 109 AD. Here we are behind the scenes of the fountain on top of the Gianicolo Hill with this breathtaking view. Private visit just for us! Such a treat. All commissioned by Pope Paul V Borghese.

Frescoes ~ from an underground nympheum inside Emperor Augustus's wife's house in Prima Porta Roma, Villa di Livia, dating back to 40-20 years BC. Discovered in year 1863, sadly partially damaged during WWII and later moved to the Palazzo Massimo museum in Rome in 1951. 23 vegetable species and 69 bird species can be identified ~ the colors are still so gentle and real. Just one of Rome's fascinating museums.

A wonderful afternoon in Rome's Botanic Gardens ~ shade and beauty, over 6 hectares of gardens of what used to be part of Villa Corsini (today a fascinating art gallery). Started by Queen Cristina of Sweden who abdicated the Swedish throne in 1654, converted to become a Catholic and came to live in Rome in Villa Corsini. Stroll around the gardens and you can savour and enjoy the 100's of different species of trees and plants from all over the world.

Piazza di Siena Horse Show inside Villa Borghese, originally set up by Marcantonio IV Borghese late 1700's named after the city of their origins ~ Siena, and in memory of the local Medieval Horse race called the Palio di Siena, still running to this day. A 700 year old horse race~running only twice a year in July and August. A fantastic day trip from Rome. Here a small Military Parade outside the main ring in the Borghese Park in Rome.

Love at first sight ~ Castel Sant'Angelo in Rome, the central drum was Mausoleum to Emperor Hadrian year 138 AD, later turned into a Fortress by the Pope's in the 1400's, a prison (the worst in Rome) and last but not least Papal appartaments built on top, where the Pope's could hide in times of danger ~the famous Sack of Rome 1527. The arches at the beginning of the video are part of a private passageway called Il Passetto that connects straight to the Vatican ~ we can still walk a section of the passageway.
