The Roman Forum was for centuries the center of Roman public life: the place for triumphal procession; the square for elections and public speeches commemorating the city's great men; the venue for commercial affairs and trails.

Christiaan, an art and history lover born and raised in Rome to an Italian father and a Dutch mother. I studied History of Art here in the Eternal City and then specialized in Religious Art at the Vatican. I am an official licensed tour guide thrilled to show the beauties of my hometown to the lucky visitors. If you are reading this, it means you booked your ticket to come to Italy, good for you!
