Via del Pellegrino
-
Rione Parione
-
Rome Jewish Ghetto
-
A narrow Renaissance street connecting Campo de’ Fiori with Via Giulia, Via del Pellegrino is lined with small workshops, antique shops, and historic palaces. Once traveled by pilgrims on their way to St. Peter’s, it still carries the atmosphere of old Rome, where cobblestones, faded frescoes, and artisan traditions preserve the city’s timeless charm.
-
Rione Parione, at the heart of historic Rome, is a district where ancient ruins and Renaissance elegance blend seamlessly. Centered around Piazza Navona, it brims with Baroque fountains, noble palaces, and lively cafés. Once home to markets and artisans, today it embodies the vibrant spirit of Rome, a place where history, art, and daily life continue to intertwine.
-
A private tour built for you becomes the key, and the Jewish Ghetto unlocks: hidden courtyards, centuries of resilience, flavors kept alive. Luxury lies in the way each detail bends to your pace.
Tour description
Rome reveals its most authentic side far from the grand monuments, in the workshops, studios, and quiet streets where creativity is still practiced by hand. This private experience is designed for travelers who want to move beyond the classic routes and discover the city through its artisans, materials, and living traditions.
Accompanied by an expert guide, you explore lesser-known neighborhoods where craftsmanship has shaped daily life for centuries. Walking through intimate streets and small squares, you encounter historic workshops run by basket makers, mosaic artists, and leather artisans, each preserving techniques passed down through generations. Your guide explains how these crafts developed, why they mattered to Rome’s economy, and how true Made in Italy quality is still defined today.
The journey also highlights a new wave of contemporary designers and creative makers who reinterpret tradition with modern ideas. Their work appears in independent galleries, design-focused cafés, and small markets, creating a constant dialogue between heritage and innovation. This contrast between old and new is one of the most fascinating aspects of Rome’s artistic identity.
The pace is relaxed and immersive, allowing time to observe, listen, and absorb the atmosphere. Along the way, there is space to pause for a classic Italian coffee or artisanal gelato, enjoying the rhythm of local life while surrounded by creativity.
This private artisans tour offers a deeper, more human perspective on Rome, ideal for travelers curious about craftsmanship, design, and the everyday beauty that exists beyond the city’s famous landmarks.
