Itinerary: This guided tour takes you from Piazza del Popolo, entrance to Rome for pilgrims, along Via del Babuino up to Piazza di Spagna. Piazza del Popolo is one of the most famous squares in Rome, due to the impressive obelisk and the church of S. Maria del Popolo, an architectural gem which stores paintings by Caravaggio and frescoes by Pinturicchio. Piazza di Spagna is dominated by the steps that link the square to the French Church of Trinità dei Monti. Two streets that start from the square, via Condotti and via Frattina, invite you to a pleasant walk amidst exclusive ateliers and shops that give evidence of Italy’s chic and quality.

Have you ever tried to make a pizza? You did it and it was ok but did not taste like the real thing? You have the unique opportunity to forget takeaway pizzas and learn how to prepare a typically Italian one! The class gives the opportunity to see the whole pizza making process from scratch with the selection of all ingredients and the preparation of the dough. Once the dough is ready, you will choose your favourite topping to create your own tasty Italian pizza. If the weather is nice, the class can be arranged outdoors and pizzas will be baked in the Mediterranean park of the Rome Cavalieri Hotel.
