Fascinating and relevant

Sherri_H, Apr 2026

This was one of the best tours I’ve been on. Our guide had a deep understanding of the subject matter and was very knowledgeable about what circumstances led to the rise of Mussolini and Fascism. The propaganda and manipulation used by Mussolini and how he incorporated ties to Ancient Rome as well as the monarchy and the Vatican were fascinating. I can’t say enough about our guide’s deep knowledge of the subject. This tour is especially relevant today and shouldn’t be missed.

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Kind Sherri, Thank you for booking such a special and, we'd say, delicate tour. Marco knows that the Tour must be a deep exploration among the meanings, the reasons, and the risks of the fascist ideology. We'd say, such a fundamental sightseeings over this current days. Grazie.
