Have you always dreamt to spend one day in ancient Rome? Now you can do it with the journey
00:06
through Caesars Forum. Throughout the summer, the City Authority for Cultural Heritage
00:11
and Zetema Progetto Cultura are offering Romans and tourists the opportunity to take a night-time
00:18
stroll through the ruins of the first Imperial Forum, which go back to their 2000-year-old
00:24
splendor thanks to a virtual reconstruction. In the headphones, the unmistakable voice
00:30
and oratory of Piero Angela, who with his narration accompanies visitors inside the
00:36
majestic Temple of Venus and under the porticoes of the ancient Forum to peek into the daily life
00:42
of ancient Romans, from bankers to students. A multimedia show using films, projections,
00:50
video mapping and lots of historical information to bring to life a world far away, but in the end
00:57
not too different from our own in the small everyday moments. The story of the extraordinary
01:03
life of Julius Caesar, idolized by some, hated by others, cannot be missed. Tourists leave the
01:11
visit enthusiastic. It was amazing, really beautiful. It just made you feel like you're
01:18
part of times gone by. I just love the fact that you could actually imagine as if you were really
01:25
there back then. It was, yeah, it was really good. Did you like the visit?
01:48
The experience not only surprises foreign tourists, Romans and Italians are left speechless.
02:18
The show is scheduled to run until the 22nd of September.
