Embark on a fantastic journey through time, with Music and Art from the Imperial Age to the Baroque. A sublime combination of sounds and images offers insight into the heritage of Eternal City.

Immersed in the atmosphere and history of gladiators, emperors, popes, and princes, you will begin your journey with a guided tour* in one of the most extraordinary locations of Imperial Rome: the Stadium of Domitian, which is the first and only example of a masonry stadium ever built in ancient Rome.
