Campo De' Fiori
We will begin just before nightfall at the foot of the statue of Giordano Bruno in Rome's iconic Piazza Campo de’ Fiori where your guide will explain the Dominican Friar’s very unorthodox cosmological theories and beliefs which lead to his eventual public execution by burning. We will also cover Bruno’s consideration as a freemason by Italy’s masonic community.

We will pass along Via Monserrato to the women’s prison where the condemned Beatrice Cenci spent her last days awaiting her execution by decapitation. From here we will continue on to the Spanish National Church, the burial site of the infamous Borgia Pope Alexander VI. The bizarre story of his burial and favourite mistress will capture your full attention as we make our way to the next stop.
