OVEROME COLOSSEUM FOR KIDS & FAMILIES PRIVATE TOUR REVIEW (+ Palatine Hill + Roman Forum)
Over the Easter holiday, one of the first thing we wanted to see once we got to Rome was to visit the almighty Colosseum, but since we know very little about the Colosseum and Rome itself, we thought it would be wise to go with a specialist family-friendly tour group. After some considerable amount of research, Overome was seen as the best choice for us. This was our very first day in Rome.

Trip to Rome: The Pantheon
The Pantheon (Greek Πάνθεον = to every god) was commissioned by Marcus Agrippa as a temple to all the gods of Ancient Rome and it was rebuilt by Emperor Hadrian.
The Pantheon's dome is still the world's largest unreinforced concrete dome and it is one of the best preserved of all Roman buildings. It has been in continous use throughout its history, and since the VII century, the Pantheon has been used as a Roman Catholic church dedicated to St. Mary and the Martyrs but informally known as Santa Maria della Rotodonda
The third niche holds the mortal remains - his Ossa et cineres (Bones and ashes) - of the great artist Raphael. His fiancée, Maria Bibbiena is buried to the right of his sarcophagus; she died before they could marry. The sarcophagus was given by Pope Gregory XVI, and its inscription reads ILLE HIC EST RAPHAEL TIMUIT QUO SOSPITE VINCI / RERUM MAGNA PARENS ET MORIENTE MORI, meaning Here lies Raphael, by whom the mother of all things (Nature) feared to be overcome while he was living, and while he was dying, herself to die. The epigraph was written by Pietro Bembo.
Pantheon contains also the tombs of two important kings of Italy, Vittorio Emanuele II and Umberto I.

Rome in a Day - Do it Yourself tour ????
A great place to start is the Termini Station, which is easily accessible by Metro. I always book my hotel near Termini for its great flexibility to the Metro and trains throughout Italy and the Fiumicino Airport.
Head South West on via Cavour for less than 5 minutes for the first stop, the Basilica Santa Maria Maggiore – a 5th century church with gilded ceiling and majestic works of art. The basilica is the largest catholic church in Rome outside of the Vatican. Typically, a 15 minute stop should to the trick.
Continue South west along via Cavour, following the bend to the right, for about 15 minutes where you will intersect with via Dei Fori Imperiali, turn left towards the Coliseum. With your advanced ticket purchase, you’ll use the short line for pre-purchased tickets – this should take about 5 minutes. When entering the Coliseum, head upwards into the stadium. An hour should be ample time to explore and take photos.
When exiting the Coliseum, head south towards the Arch of Constantine then west up the roadway to the Forum. After entering the gates, the Arch of Titus is straight ahead – celebrating the 1st century victories of the Roman conquest of Jerusalem. Spending about an hour you can walk the grounds of the Forum and ascend the palatine hill for some great views of modern Rome.
From the center of the Forum, exit through the North East exit onto via dei Fori Imperiali and cross the street. Head north west along Trajan’s Forum and past Trajan’s column ending at the Alter of the Fatherland, also known as the Monumento Nazionale a Vittorio Emanuele II. This landmark was completed in 1925 in honor of Victor Emmanuel, the first king of a unified Italy.
Now head North on via dei Corso and follow the signs to the Trevi Fountain – there are several places here where you can get some food on the go.
Arriving at the Trevi Fountain, you’ll want to push your way through the crowds to get to the edge of the fountain for the obligatory coin toss over your shoulder – ensuring your future return to Rome. You’ll want to spend about 15 minutes here.
Heading west, follow the side streets to the Pantheon – generally, lines move quickly here and exploring the inside of the Pantheon will take about 20 minutes.
Continue westward towards Piazza Navona, following the signs. In Piazza Navona, there are several fountains and an Egyptian obelisk located in the center – cafes and restaurants surround the perimeter of the square, but be warned, the amazing atmosphere does significantly affect pricing.
Head westward along the winding streets lined with restaurants and then northward (keeping right) towards the Ponte Sant’Angelo. Cross the bridge over the Tiber to the Castel Sant’Angelo.
Keeping left, head West towards St. Peter’s Basilica and Vatican City. When entering the main square, keep to the right for the entrance into St. Peter’s. You’ll spend about 30-45 minutes in the Basilica where you’ll be overcome by the grandeur of the architecture and marvel in the incredible works of art, including the Pietà sculpture by Michelangelo.
Heading out of St. Peter’s, head towards the large obelisk in the center of the square and then turn left, or north, up the street, taking another left at the corner of the Wall to the Vatican. Here you will enter the Vatican Museums where you will see well know masterpieces from throughout the centuries, including works by Raphael and the Sistine Chapel paintings by Michelangelo. Although this museum is huge, you can march through it in about an hour and a half.
Heading East, a 25 minute walk back across the Tiber to the Piazza Popolo where you can climb the stairs to the Terrazza del Pincio for a great view of Rome at the edge of the Borghese gardens.
Head South East towards the Spanish Steps where there is plenty of luxury shopping and a great selection of restaurants for dinner. As the night turns darker, head south towards the Trevi Fountain for a completely different experience and an evening Gelato.

ROME | Study Abroad | What's an Italian Student Companion?
Worried about how you'll integrate into your newfound home in Rome? When you apply for one of our Rome programs, you can request to live with an Italian Student Companion (ISC.) ISCs are college students from who live with IES Abroad students and serve as liaisons to the intricacies of the Italian culture.
Italian Student Companions serve as a close, direct connection to Italian culture and function as cultural mediators. They can help you overcome the difficulties related to cultural differences and with simple “urban survival” (getting to know the city, public transportation, shopping hours, post office, etc.) They also help develop a residential community in the apartment through a variety of engaging activities and programs like cooking and eating together, going out together to museums, events and different Roman neighborhoods, watching typical Italian films and much more. All these activities are intended to introduce students to Italian culture while building a tight-knit apartment and IES Abroad community.

Lamborghini Aventador Promotes Made In Italy In Rome
07/04/2011 Roma Capitale to be at the heart of a big event to promote the Made in Italy: the presentation of the new Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4
Today, at a press conference held at the Campidoglio, the Mayor of Rome Gianni Alemanno and the President and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini, Stephan Winkelmann, announced that from April 26th to May 8th, Roma Capitale will star in a great new event to promote the Made in Italy.
On the 150th anniversary of Italy's unification, Lamborghini chooses Rome as the main stage for the international presentation of its brand-new super sports car, Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4, created in Italy but destined to be revered and appreciated all over the world, as confirmed by the orders received so far, which have already overcome 12 months' production.
To offer visual support to such announcement, one specimen of the new Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 has been put on display right outside the Campidoglio.
Over a period of two weeks in springtime Rome, the Bull from Sant'Agata Bolognese will become the true protagonist. A series of fascinating initiatives are scheduled to take place in the capital city in order to entertain Romans and tourists alike on the occasion of the Easter festivities.
Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 is the latest addition to the super sports line-up by the Italian prestigious brand and is also the fastest and more powerful mass-produced Lamborghini ever.
Camp and Housing Rights of Roma in Italy
Italy's policy of formal camps for Roma is a failure -- it reinforces ethnic segregation, social exclusion and human rights' violations. Italian institutions have to stop using public funds to create segregated camps which prevent Roma from accessing essential services, and keep them out of the city and away from opportunities. The road to integration of Roma citizens in Italy has to overcome camps in order to end this disastrous approach.
Our video follows one Romani man, who explains how and why the camps have failed him.

'Changes Is Needed' A talk by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar - Rome, Italy, May 2014
Produced by Art of Living Productions

More about the Art of Living: artofliving.org
More about Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: srisri.org
Sri Sri founded The Art of Living as an international, non-profit, educational and humanitarian organization in 1982. Its educational and self-development programs offer powerful tools to eliminate stress and foster a sense of well-being through powerful breathing techniques such as Sudarshan Kriya and Yoga. Appealing not only to a specific population, these practices have proven effective globally at all levels of society.
What is Yoga?
The secret to health and happiness lies deep within every human. Yoga is the science of discovering one's own self - the very source of pure consciousness, peace and bliss. Everyone knows that we don't feel good and we get stressed when there is disharmony in our lives, when our bodies are tired and our busy minds constantly chatter and judge. Through the discipline of Yoga we become more aware of ourselves by doing simple postures, breathing techniques, meditation, and relaxation to rejuvenate the body and quite the mind. It is in this manner that we cultivate harmony in ourselves.
What is Meditation
Settling the surface mind is meditation. Living in the present is meditation. Relaxing deeply is meditation. When you are really happy, reposing in love, you are meditating. Meditation is that space when the thoughts have subsided, and the mind is in complete rest.
What is Sudarshan Kriya
Sudarshan Kriya incorporates specific natural rhythms of the breath which harmonize the body, mind and emotions. This unique breathing technique eliminates stress, fatigue and negative emotions such as anger, frustration and depression, leaving you calm yet energized, focused & yet relaxed. Millions around the world have done this unique practice and have reported better quality of life.

Rome struggles to cope with expanding Roma community

2. Mid shot of woman walking through camp - pushing stroller
3. Naked child washing legs with hose
4. Woman walking in camp - fire in background
5. Wide of Adzovic Najo's house
6. SOUNDBITE (Italian) Adzovic Najo, Author of The Invisible People:
We have always been a people without a flag, without a state. We are a people that have always been on the move, a people that have always been nomadic. Until a few years ago. But now in Italy, the nomads have become stable, they are no longer nomadic, they now live in mega-camps where they live in decrepit shacks, they live under very precarious sanitary and hygienic conditions. But they are trying to begin to integrate (into society).
7. Various of young Roma girls picking the pocket of a tourist near Rome's city hall
8. SOUNDBITE (Italian) Major Antonino Buda, Carabinieri Military Police:
Oh my God, not all nomads are delinquents - that's a stereotype. It's obvious that there is a big percentage that by historic tradition live by this kind of illegal gain and living in a nomad camp means assimilating to that culture, even the illegal part, in this case.
9. Various of Tiburtina camp
10. SOUNDBITE (Italian) Paolo Ferrero, Italian Minister of Social Solidarity:
I believe we need to work in two directions. First, we need to attempt to overcome the problem of nomad camps, we need to provide homes for the people who are no longer nomadic. Because many of the so-called gypsies have been stable for decades. Second, we need to link their stability with bringing their children to school so as to integrate them.
11. Roma teenagers washing car windows at traffic-light
12. SOUNDBITE (Italian) Esma Hamidovic, camp resident:
We have not received any stipend for 8 months and our women, what do they do now? They go begging. They leave their children in the houses, you can see the danger and we have water only twice a day.
13. Various interiors of house in Roma camp
13. Pan of prefabricated housing provided by city in Camp Pontina
14. Mid shot of Pontina camp
STORYLINE:
Although viewed as traditionally nomadic, most of Italy's Gypsies, or Roma, now live in permanent housing, a social shift that has led to fresh challenges as they seek fuller integration.
There are 11 official Roma camps around the capital but in recent years other camps have sprouted up around the city many of them along the banks of Rome's two rivers, the Tiber and the Aniene.
According to estimates, as many as 14-thousand Roma live in Rome.
Adzovic Najo, who came to Italy from Montenegro and lives in the Casilino 900 camp, has written a book about the Roma, called: The Invisible People.
Najo believes his kinsfolk have always been a people without a flag, without a state. We are a people that have always been on the move, a people that have always been nomadic.
Now in Italy, the nomads have become stable, they are no longer nomadic, they now live in mega-camps where they live in decrepit shacks, they live under very precarious sanitary and hygienic conditions. But they are trying to begin to integrate, he added.
Many Roma children do not attend school and are taught at home instead.
Discrimination is another issue; many Italian communities do not want city authorities to build a camp near their homes.
With few resources, the Roma find it difficult to get good jobs or manage their own businesses, which can lead to other social problems.
But Major Antonino Buda of the Carbinieri Military police, who has been involved in preventing crime by Roma, insists it would be wrong to classify them all as law-breakers.
The government has had difficulty coping with the Roma population in Rome.
Conditions in the camps are often bleak.
