Rome Uncovered: Hidden Gems and Secret Stories with Elio

Skip the selfie-snapping crowds and dive into a part of Rome most visitors never see—right under the shadow of the Colosseum. This is a journey through tucked-away treasures, forgotten legends, and jaw-dropping art, guided by Elio, an Italian actor, author, and all-around Roman raconteur. Passionate about art, history, and esotericism, Elio doesn’t just show you Rome—he brings its soul to life with a mix of knowledge, charm, and storytelling that will keep you hooked.

Where You’ll Go: The Secret Rome Tour

The adventure kicks off at the staircase of San Gregorio, leading you into a stunning porticoed courtyard before you step inside the church. Prepare to be amazed by the breathtaking Salviati Chapel, an artistic gem that feels like it’s been waiting for someone to stumble upon it.

But wait, there’s more. Beyond the church lie three ancient oratories, where stories of fallen angels, mystical events, and artistic brilliance come to light. Think works by masters like Guido Reni, Domenichino, Pomarancio, and Lanfranco—each piece a portal to Rome’s artistic and mythical past.

Medieval Magic and VIP Access

Next, you’ll head to the nearby Basilica of Saints John and Paul, a rare and beautiful example of medieval architecture. As the global Mother House of Passionist monks, it’s a place of history and quiet wonder. But the real treat? You’ll step into the private park surrounding the basilica—an oasis of manicured beauty, offering spectacular, postcard-perfect views of the Colosseum and Roman Forum. It’s off-limits to the public, but for you? It’s an exclusive peek behind the gates.

Why This Tour Feels Different

This isn’t your typical "follow the flag" walking tour. With Elio as your guide, expect an experience that’s intimate, entertaining, and rich with stories. He’ll weave together art, philosophy, history, and mysticism, sharing fascinating insights that connect every site to Rome’s broader legacy—without ever losing that lighthearted charm.
