Love the voiceover and the stories! Your channel rocks!

A friend who studies art history and spend some months in Rome showed me this place. I am not sure if it counts as secret but the Basilica di Santa Cecilia in Trastevere has a great mural that is not in the church. There is a door on the left to the facade, ring the bell and you will be buzzed in if it is during visiting hours. You will be greeted by a nun sitting there and you can pay the entrance fee to her, I believe its 2 euros. You will take a small elevator to the first floor where you can see the Last Judgment by Pietro Cavallini.

Hi there, how exciting! My vlogs have tons of tips for things you can do in Rome, and I sometimes share restaurants and things you should eat as well, so I suggest you check out some more of my videos before you come. For food, go to Trastevere and you won't regret it. Try carbonara, amatriciana, cacio e pepe (all Roman pasta dishes), supplì is one of my favorite street foods, gelato, wine, pizza al taglio and pizza rotonda! Hope you enjoy!!

Thanks for always sharing more tips and info!! There's so much to learn haha

I hope you are carrying pepper spray. Some of those places don’t look safe. I’ve heard there are a lot of beautiful unknown churches in Rome. They are works of art inside. Could you blog some of them? Thanks.

I've been living in Rome for about 8 years and nothing bad has happened to me.. I think I'm pretty situationally aware (grew up with a military dad) and I usually only go out during the day lol I think Rome is a fairly safe major city! Of course it depends on where / when you are out & it's always good to think about safety. I have vlogged sooooooo many churches on my channel! Have a look around at some of my older content from last year! And if you learn of a specific one you'd like to see, let me know! Always happy to go film video requests! 🥰💛

The best museum in Rome is MUSEO NAZIONALE ROMANO!

@@AlyssaMaeFriend il Museo Nazionale Romano è probabilmente il museo più importante del mondo per quanto riguarda I 'arte greco-romana. Al tempo del Grand Tour gli aristocratici si facevano ritrarre dal più celebre ritrattista dell'epoca (Pompeo Batoni) accanto alle statue più ammirate dell'epoca, la maggior parte delle quali è esposta in questo museo nella sede di Palazzo Altemps. Questi capolavori furono esaltati dai grandi intellettuali europei (Winkelman, Lessing, Stendhal, Visconti, Goethe, ecc.ecc. ) Goethe si innamorò di un Busto di Giunone a tal punto che acquistò il relativo gesso che portò a casa sua a WEIMAR dove ancora si vede. Nella sede di Palazzo Massimo si trovano opere eccelse ad esempio LA FANCIULLA DI ANZIO che fu acquistata dallo stato italiano con una cifra enorme per evitare che uscisse dai confini dell'Italia. È un originale ellenistico di straordinaria qualità. Inoltre sempre nella sede di Palazzo Massimo si trovano gli affreschi della villa di Livia, moglie di Augusto, e quelli della villa Farnesina. Queste pitture, essendo destinate all'imperatore sono di una qualità eccezionale. Nessun museo al mondo possiede pitture di questa qualità!

H. C Andersen is danish and not swedish...born i Odense Denmark. Get your fact right...😉

I knew he was Danish, I've been to Denmark.. I don't know why I said Swedish in the video, must have been tired. Sorry about that. This is an old video.. hopefully I've gotten better at paying attention to all the details... I always try my best to be accurate. I'm not an expert historian, just a person who likes to make videos for fun (and for free).. even still, people always find something to be angry about. 😔
