Tour description

Free walking tour…
The dark side of the ancient Romans… inside the Colosseum during the games.
Killing the animals, public executions, the life of a gladiator in his naked reality away from the movie fiction.
Slaves were dehumanized by Romans, the people being transformed into cattle, into a tool.
The crowd was thrilled by the show put in place by the authorities.
The roman mob wishing more and more blood than previous games. They’re hungry and thirsty for them.
Casualties during the centuries inside the Colosseum in terms of humans and animals.
Join my tour if you are tired of the classical superficial tour that avoids the drama, the tragedies, the blood…. because is not….. politically correct.

Well, as a historian be sure I’m going to give you the straight stories, naked, cruel, as they used to be.
You’re going to listen the facts from the time passed on white and black, without the grey zone in the middle.
Would you like to touch the bottom of human nature?
What’s behind a Roman military parade, in THE ROMAN FORUM crucifixion, decimation, conquest, genocide, horrendous, sadistic way of killing, and more other?
Are you tired of today’s superficiality describing past history carefully being politically correct that turns us into bigots and false puritans?
Do you want to touch the bottom of the human race of 2000 years ago, without “YES….. BUT”?!
Well, this tour is for you.
Are you a very sensitive person?
Isn’t your stomach strong to hear crazy things done by the ancient Romans?

At this point the tour is not for you.

I’m the man standing in front of you to give a vivid bloody page from the past.
The tour will end on the Capitol Hill, with the touch and fingerprint of Michelangelo Buonarroti.
At the end we need beauty because this is the GOAL.
To learn from the past, hoping not to make the same mistake….. but there’s is a MUST, in bringing home, the beauty the creativity, the genius of the human beings,…. “tools”, that they brought us to the…..
HOMO SAPIENS ERA,
away from the…..
Homo Erectus……. all this pushing us to the new era…

HOMO DEUS!
