Rome TV Shows
If you'd like to enjoy the pair of "Rick Steves' Europe" TV shows that cover Rome, you have three options: wait for your local public television to air the shows; read the scripts (linked below); or order the "Italy's Cities" DVD!
Caesar's Rome (episode #105): We take a walking tour of Rome's ancient sights, from the Forum and Colosseum to the glorious Pantheon. Then, after exploring the catacombs and a cat hospice, we track down the best ice cream in Rome.
Script from the show.
Rome, Baroque and After Dark (episode #109): After a pilgrimage to Michelangelo's Pieta, we climb to the top of St. Peter's Basilica. We seek out tucked-away Renaissance paintings and a cleverly-painted false dome. At the Borghese Gallery, it's exquisite sculptures by the master of marble, Bernini. Then we join the locals on an after-dark stroll, lacing together Rome's Baroque and bubbly nightspots.
