Aliens in Rome
Our Aliens in Rome tour encompasses locations associated with reported contacts and documented phenomena throughout history.What if mysterious events from the past could be clarified as historical occurrences faithfully recorded in the ancient writings of “Annales Maximi”? During the Roman Republic, the Chief Priest of the Capitol recorded significant public events of the day and published an abbreviated version on a whiteboard.The earliest records contained reports of mythological events and unexplained phenomena. While this might seem abstract to many, the credibility of these and similar records is supported by extensive research at Villa Pamphili, where diverse documents have passed through researchers’ hands, including accounts of entities from elsewhere, intersecting with UFO theories and ancient astronauts.There are multiple sources offering testimonies about unexplained events from the past. Among the most famous ufologists, Giulio Osequente’s “Prodigiorum Liber,” written in the 4th century AD, describes events that occurred in Rome, often defined as “miracles.” For instance, he noted sightings of luminous torch-like objects in the sky, circular flying objects resembling legionnaires’ fiery shields, as well as sightings of golden-coloured fireballs and ship-like forms in the flaming sky.These accounts also mention abominations, biological monsters, peculiar atmospheric phenomena, people allegedly abducted in clouds, and sightings of flying saucers.The scientist and encyclopaedist Pliny the Elder, in chapters 26 and 36 of the second book “Naturalis Historia,” recounts the story of “Klipe Ardens” above the sky of the capital during the Second Punic War. He describes a UFO fleet as a singular, shining entity observed in the sky (XXI book, chapter 62).Great curiosity is stirred by the inexplicable events that Giulio Osequente and Titus Livius categorized as “Chunderkind” in the light of religion, superstition, or ancient science.These include popular stories and legends of Rome, such as the alleged kidnapping of King Romulus. Considering it as an alien abduction of a king adds an intriguing layer to the tale.I’ve revised the text for clarity and coherence while maintaining the essence of the content.

Group tour:Jewish Ghetto
“And they didn’t even begin to live.”Jewish Ghetto preserves this little phrase, which serves to remind us of the newborns deported to Nazi concentration camps, and certainly contains everything that many people felt in that period.The history of Jewish Ghetto in Rome takes us back in time to Roman times, with the road called Portico D’Ottavia, which will also be our first stop in the visit. This area of the is a real open museum.His name choose Emperor Augustus, dedicating it to his sister Octavia. Think that it was made between 33 and 23 BC, only this can make you understand how much history has passed in this small corner of Rome. Over the centuries it has been renovated several times,Right next door is also the Teatro Marcello, a structure very similar to that of the most important amphitheater in the world! But it is not!This theater was in fact-built years before, and was fundamental for the design of the Colosseum, theater was often used in Ancient Rome, and if today we can see arena’s like the Colosseum or the Arena of Verona, in part you also owe it to this beautiful theater.But the era of Ancient Rome mixes in this place with another reality, very different that still testifies to the suffering and pain of the Jewish people.You must know that over the centuries Jews have been forced to stay in this neighborhood, hence the name “Jewish Ghetto”. It was Pope Paul IV Carafa who built it in order to better control and supervise the Jews present in the city.The population was thus forced to reside only in this part of the city, in very poor conditions and in maximum poverty. The Jews could in fact leave the Ghetto only at dawn but were obliged to return at sunset: special doors, whose keys were in the possession of some noble and powerful Christian families, were closed at night and always guarded by guards.The area of the Portico d’Ottavia became in fact the protagonist of one of the darkest pages of history: it was here that on October 16, 1943, the Jews of the Ghetto were gathered to be deported to Nazi concentration camps.One of the things you will surely notice when you follow the guides through the streets of this neighborhood is that on the walls there are often commemorative plaques.You should know that another of the peculiarities of the Jewish Ghetto is that it has many small alleys that characterize it. Walking you will happen to see cobblestones different from the usual. They are made of brass and immediately catch the eye because they are golden in color. They are usually given the name stumbling blocks.On each stumbling block you willnotice the phrase “Deported Auschwitz” with the date of death, and you will be very impressed to look at them closely.The first stop we will visit is the Great Temple of Rome from the outside, the largest synagogue in the city. It is in the heart of the neighborhood. This place of worship has been very important for many people is visible from most of the Roman viewpoints.Then we will head towards Piazza Mattei to admire one of the fountains that you absolutely must see in Rome: the Fountain of the Turtles! We are talking about a small monument that contains beauty and a truly unique history. A legend tells that Duke Mattei had this fountain built in a single night to amaze the father of the girl he wanted to marry because he was against this marriage.You will understand in this point of the tour that are legends to give a magical touch to the visit, allowing you to look at everything with different eyes. If you want to learn more about Rome’s legends and mysteries you can join our Ghosts in Rome tour also.We will finish our walk behind the fountain, where is a building that was very important for Jews during World War II. The family staying inside this palace allowed many Jews to take refuge in its rooms, as Germans where entering inside the Ghetto. The purpose we all know was to deport and murder Jews. This gesture allowed many men, women, and children to survive.
