Palazzo Doria Pamphilj has housed a private collection unique in the world. It is not only the quality and value of these masterpieces that amazes, but also their number: there are so many works that they completely cover the walls of the reception rooms, the wings of the splendid Gallery and the private apartments. It would have been impossible to describe the entire collection in detail here. Among these, in addition to Italian artists known throughout the world, among which we can mention Caravaggio, Titian, Raphael, Carracci and Bernini, there are also Flemish masters of the Baroque era, a true flagship of the Doria Pamphilj collection, the French landscape painter Lorrain and the most representative Spanish artist of the Baroque era Diego Velázquez.

Most days are ordinary. But some days are so big that people are still talking about them 2,000 years later. The 15th of March 44 BC, Ceasar's last day, was one of those days, and you're about to jump right into it. Led by Roberta Jones, time-traveler and licensed tour guide, you'll walk the streets where Julius Caesar rose to power, commanded armies, and made powerful enemies. As you explore iconic sites like the Capitoline Hill, the Jewish Ghetto, and more, actors bring ancient Romans to life all around you: Caesar, the scheming Brutus, the brilliant Volumnia Cytheris. You won't just watch the story. You'll be part of it. Join Caesar's army, become a Roman citizen, and get pulled into the biggest conspiracy the ancient world has ever seen. You'll also pick up plenty of real history, the kind that makes you sound impressively smart afterward. Was Caesar a hero or a tyrant who got what was coming to him? You decide. Ancient Rome is waiting. Are you brave enough to step in?
