Overview

Our WW2 walk around central Rome is an eye opening look at major tourist sites from a perspective not often seen by the millions of visitors to the Eternal City. Meeting near Piazza Venezia we explore signs of the World War Two era that often go unnoticed by visitors. The city of Rome was the capital of Fascism for twenty years, a Nazi occupied city for nine months and finally in June 1944 a city liberated by Allied Forces. Our walking tour of central Rome explains the historical events that took place in many familiar locations of the city and shows how often memorials to the era are to be found hidden in plain sight.
