Welcome to the ROME CAPUT MUNDI, Capitol of the Ancient World. All cities are layer cakes stacked with incredible detail but Rome is the most deeply layered of all. Few cities world-wide offer the walking visitor such a broad spectrum of choice. And most of it is free and out in the open; the city is a museum of its own design. This two-DVD set is a WALKING HISTORY OF ROME that prepares you for your own visit. The first DVD sets the thematic scale of your visit as it touches on all of Rome’s historical layers: the pre-historic and Etruscan; the Monarchy, Republic and Imperial; the Medieval, Renaissance, and the modern city as capitol of Italy. We explore the city as organically as walking visitors experience it, but it is the second DVD – t

PERFECT COMBINATION OF BACKGROUND,
Both the DVD and walking tour were a perfect introduction to Rome and gave us a lot of ideas for how to spend our four days as we also go to Egypt after that. The presentation of info by day was extremely convenient and easy to follow with good travel hints, dining tips, and metro tips. We’re trying to put it on our iPhone so that we can bring a walking tour with us as we do Rome. We’re very excited about our trip and a lot of our excitement is because of these DVDs and booklet, which are just perfect!. We studied the options in Amazon real hard when getting this and are glad we did. It’s wonderful!

|Making Order of Chaos,
Travelling to Rome for the first time, I had this sense of dread and excitement. There is so much to see and do, and a limited time to do all of this. Caput Mundi gives this wary traveller a sense of direction, flow and priority that would otherwise be difficult to derive from anything short of a personal tour guide. Peter Melaragno (can you imagine how many PE teachers killed his name in junior high in Rhode Isalnd?) walks us through strata of historical and cultural chaos of a city built upon many others. This comes with two DVD’s – the travelogue, and the detailed walking tour, complete with maps, cursors and real time reference of sights, sounds and tastes. There are enough recommendations to book lodging in the heart of it all. I will travel with his pocket guide – a printed text of his walking tour – (included with the two DVDs) in one hand, and a folding laminated map of old Rome in the other. Carpe Diem…

|Wonderful!,
We are planning a trip in the fall back to Rome. I have order many books and video’s on touring and attractions for this trip. This is my favorite. Peter has done an excellent job with giving the history so that the places you are visiting come alive.
The set comes with a pocket guide that is small enough to carry around with you, but has information and history on all the sights you will see.
I am so greatful that I found this DVD set.
