mp3cityguides tour of Rome Spanish steps Pantheon and Piazza Navona |
 |
As you walk down the Spanish Steps we'll explain why they were so unpopular with the Pope at the time and why the fountain at the bottom looks like it's sinking.
We'll point out the Keats-Shelley Museum and explain what Roman firemen do to the Colonna dell'Immacolata every year.
You'll hear about the deadly rivals who shaped Rome - Borromini and Bernini - and see their greatest works. We'll tell you where the word Malaria comes from and what paparazzi means too. As you wander through the quieter streets of this capital city, we'll show you what other tourist guides don't - where old aristocrats still live with Old Masters on their walls - and where to find quiet restaurants, where the real Romans go to eat.
