It measured 621 m (2,037 ft) in length and 118 m (387 ft) in width and could accommodate over 150,000 spectators.

Pass by: Piazza Venezia is the central hub of Rome, Italy, in which several thoroughfares intersect, including the Via Dei Fori Imperiali and the Via del Corso. It takes its name from the Palazzo Venezia, built by the Venetian Cardinal, Pietro Barbo (later Pope Paul II) alongside the church of Saint Mark, the patron saint of Venice. The Palazzo Venezia served as the embassy of the Republic of Venice in Rome. One side of the Piazza is the site of Italy's Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in the Altare Della Patria, part of the Monument to Vittorio Emanuele II, the first king of Italy. The piazza or square is at the foot of Capitoline Hill and next to Trajan's Forum. The main artery, the Via di Fori Imperiali begins there and leads past the Roman Forum to the Colosseum. Capitalizing on this modern and ancient symbolism--and the useful open space--Piazza Venezia was the location of public speeches given by the Italian dictator Mussolini to crowds of his supporters in the 1920s-1940s.

Pass by: The building was erected in Campo Marzio, in the place that tradition had consecrated to the scenic performances, connected with the temple of Apollo. The project was started by Julius Caesar and taken over by Augustus. Probably completed in 17 BC, Teatro di Marcello was dedicated in 13 or 11 BC to the memory of Marcello, nephew and successor of the emperor, who died in Baia in 27 BC. Teatro di Marcello was still in operation in the 4th century; later it was transformed into a fortress, owned by the Pierleoni and Fabi families. In the 16th century, Baldassarre Peruzzi erected the still existing building, on behalf of the Savelli family and was purchased two centuries later by the Orsini family. It was an impressive theatre with a diameter of 130 metres. 36 bronze vases facilitated the acoustics. The theatre was covered by a "Velario" and had a capacity of 15,000 seats, 20,000 in case of need.

Great tour!

Andrea was very informative and accommodating. He geared the tour around this being our first visit to Rome.

Marlene_CSep 26, 2025VIATOR

Awesome!

He did such a fantastic job! Drove us all over the place and even customize the tour to take us back to a gift shop that we wanted to go to! He ended at a higher altitude so we could take some pictures over the Citi and the entire time was pointing out all of the best Seitz. I highly recommend this particularly if you get really hot or have trouble walking it’s a perfect tour.

Great private tour of Rome.

After having taken a bus tour of the main Rome tourist sites on prior trips, we wanted something more intimate and different this time. This tour certainly fit that bill. Our driver Pietro was extremely nice, professional and focused on what we wanted to see and on showing us places most tours don’t take you. He was able to stop much closer to sites than tour buses and to maneuver through the tight, crowded streets easily. Our only negative was Pietro’s lack of English made communication challenging, but after a while it just added to the charm of the tour. The vehicle was clean, stocked with water & comfortable. If you need an ongoing narrative of the sites you’re seeing by a guide who stays with you this might not be the tour for you. But if you want to stop close to the regular tourist spots, or see sites from overlooks accessible only by smaller vehicles, this might be the tour your looking for.
