Visitors will pass through the Appia Antica park
Below the city of Rome are miles of tunnels built by ancient slaves to take the building material for the city. Then these galleries were also used by Christians for their burials and the Catacombs were born. We will then take you to know this secret world inside fantastic galleries illuminated by warm LED lights that allow you to glimpse the marks of the chisels produced by ancient fossores, Roman workers who quarried pozzolana, often in exchange for their own lives. So here you find yourself in an ancient past made of lights and shadows, where history is written in every wrinkle of the walls, in every sign and in every niche. We will enter the area of the catacombs where the first Christians buried their loved ones in tunnels for tens and tens of kilometers. We will then let you experience the faint light of the fossores, produced by the Roman lamps which for thousands of years have been the only means of moving.
