How were the houses of our ancestors? Were internal spaces organized like ours? There were furnishings or internal decorations? There was the warming up? Did the water come out of the tap? Were the private services? Would you like to visit one of these mansions in a perfectly state of preservation, belonged to the rich romans of the Empire? In one of the most suggestive hill of the Capital called Celio, we’ll live together this singular experience. The roman houses still today overlook on the Scauro’ s slope, an ancient roman street that retains his original name, like in the past. It only happens in Rome, to walk on a street that has two thousand and one hundred years of history and that is call still today with the name of his founder. By a door on the street, we go back in time… it looks like a magic! Big spaces perfectly conserved all painted still today. If we close the eyes we can still imagine the lavish banquets of the house owners with their guests who taste a good wine, or eat delicacies and talk about the politician of the moment. We can also imagine their faces illuminated by precious braziers, and the light that enter from the street create suggestive atmospheres. Today, unfortunately we can only imagine it, because all the mansion was subsumed by the church of Saints John and Paul who cut forever the upper floors of the house, but in the same time, it has incorporated it by the foundation, treasuring it for us for centuries. What a great emotion must have experienced the Passionist fathers of the Church, when by chance in 1887 discovered these places. From the Church floor descending with ropes ending within the underground environments. The ancient Rome returned to live on the Celio hill and still today we can admire it in all his glory. Within the archaeological complex we will visit a small but valuable museum with finds from the area. Let us move from immersive story of our guides.
