Full description
This esoteric night tour through the mysteries of Rome starts from Piazza del Popolo, once a place of executions, where it is said that the ashes of the cruel emperor Nero were buried under a walnut tree, attracting demonic spirits. The route continues with the disturbing presences linked to two key figures of English Romanticism, Keats and Shelley, at the Spanish Steps. We then explore the dark legends linked to the Mausoleum of Augustus, concluding with the story of the ghostly apparitions on the Ponte di Castel Sant'Angelo.
