Discover one of Rome’s most unexpected contrasts on this private tour, where ancient art finds new life in modern settings. From Mussolini’s EUR district to the evocative Centrale Montemartini, this journey reveals how Rome’s history continues to inspire — and collide with — more recent visions of the city.

Begin in the EUR neighbourhood, a 20th-century district conceived by Mussolini to echo the scale of ancient imperial Rome. Walking among wide boulevards and monumental architecture, you’ll see how classical ideals were reinterpreted for modern political ambition.

Continue to the High Medieval Museum, home to treasures from an era often overshadowed by Rome’s ancient splendour. Exquisite jewellery, intricate fabrics, and sacred artefacts tell the story of a vibrant medieval city. A highlight is the reconstructed marble décor of a lavish Roman residence, with glittering floors and walls that speak to the elegance of Rome’s elite.

The tour culminates at Centrale Montemartini, a former power plant transformed into one of the city’s most atmospheric museums. Towering turbines and steel machinery form the backdrop for marble statues and portraits, including the enigmatic figure of Antinoo and a striking image of Cleopatra. The juxtaposition of industrial might and ancient beauty creates a museum experience unlike any other in Rome.

This private experience blends ancient grandeur with modern reinvention, offering a fresh perspective on the Eternal City. Here, the dialogue between past and present unfolds in powerful, unexpected ways.
