Roma, Caput Mundi
Caput Mundi, or "Center of the World", is a Latin phrase that has been used to describe Rome since antiquity and which expresses clearly the importance the city has held throughout history. Monuments and significant historic sites are found at nearly every corner in Rome - as is the chaos of a frenetic, modern city. Anyone would find it overwhelming.
In fact, the crowds at the major sites should not be underestimated. Overtourism, a modern term coined to describe the negative effects of heavy tourism, reigns in Rome. Luckily, the city is much more than those few sites.
Choosing to skip the Vatican Museums or a tour of the inside of the Colosseum in exchange for the chance to see a Roman bath house or the Appian Way is not missing out. The visitor who decides to explore for longer than the 2.4 days the average tourist stays in Rome, or even just goes off the beaten path, will be heavily rewarded.
The museums and archaeological sites I choose to visit are all highly renowned and spectacular additions to a trip to Rome. My goal is to draw more visitors to these exceptional places, and to be able to share my undying love for all things Roman.
About Me
I was born and raised in the U.S. and moved to Italy when I was at university. I have lived and worked in various parts of the country for over 20 years, spending the majority of my time in Rome. I have degrees in both art history and classical archaeology, and specialized in the history of archaeology and collections of ancient art. I attended Italian university and speak the language fluently.
My direct experience with excavations and laboratory work allows me to offer more than a superficial understanding of ancient Rome; from the excavations of the North-Eastern slopes of the Palatine hill, to my work with frescoes from the Roman ruins of Villa Medici, I am able to provide the most up-to-date data from the world of archaeology in Italy.
