Wow Elyssa you have done it again, a brilliant walking tour and at once shown us a church we have never taken any notice of despite being in Rome so many times and have been past many times, The Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli e dei Matiri. As we aew very near the termini when we are in Rome later in the year we will certainly look around as well as all of the other churches you show us on this walk, You keep giving us more and more hidden gems, thank you so much Rome is not Rome without you.

[@Romewise]

Hi Peter! Thanks as always for your thoughtful, generous comments. I'm always glad I can share something new, especially with seasoned Rome visitors like you! I know that so many people walk by that church precisely because of its nondescript exterior. That's why I wanted to showcase it. It takes me breath away every time I go inside and see that soaring ceiling that Michelangelo designed. I hope you'll check it out when you are in Rome next, and let me know what you think! Thanks as always for all your support!! It means a lot to me!

[@lornamorgan3575]

I really do love your wanders. The first time I was in Rome, we stayed on the via Nationale. My son's favourite thing in the evening was to have ice cream at the Spanish Steps, to sit, and people watch. Nearly 20 years ago. We would walk back via the Quatro Fontaine. We also did your route in 2022. A trip down memory lane. So to speak. Thank you for another great video.

[@Romewise]

Thanks for sharing your memories - I think the Spanish Steps does evoke that kind of nostalgia about what it was like to visit here 20 years ago (around when I moved here!) It was definitely a bit quieter and yes, you could sit on the steps (which you can't do now.) Things have certainly changed! Thanks again and as always for your support!

[@deenash7019]

Yet another video of your's which has reinforced our need to go back to discover more hidden gems! It was such a pleasure getting to meet you at the church of Santa Maria dela vittoria. You are such a genuinely warm, humble person, and we wish you the best!

[@Romewise]

Thank you so much for your kind comments! It was really lovely to meet you the other day. I can't thank you enough for that lovely gesture of a cold drink - I really needed it! And thank you for following me and for letting me know you enjoy my content. I hope you had a wonderful visit in Rome!

[@ralf547]

Once again I wish I had found you before I spent 4 days in Rome in May 2023. I did see some of the churches you present in this video, but I missed much more that I would have loved to visit. I enjoy seeing them now through your videos. Thank you!

[@Romewise]

Thanks for letting me know you enjoy my channel! I'm glad you like the content and find new things to see on your next visit to Rome!

[@louisedasilva6046]

Another awesome video. I love it when you show us your secret spots and it’s so nice to see beautiful churches that most people don’t visit. Thank you 😊

[@Romewise]

Glad you like them! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@glenp6301]

Got back home to the UK from Rome a couple of weeks ago. Your channel was wonderful for helping to plan our trip. One highlight was booking the rooftop tour of Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore. We wouldn't have known to have done that if it wasn't for your recent video. Thank you. And keep up the great work! Your channel is an asset to a wonderful city.

[@Romewise]

Thank you so much for your kind comments! I'm so glad you got to do that rooftop tour of the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore. I think many people miss that church entirely and it's a shame because it's so beautiful! But the walk on the roof really puts it over the top! Glad to know my video helped. Thanks again for saying such nice things about me and my channel. I am very grateful!

[@sandrab.5065]

Excellent walking tour! Thank you for sharing, Romewise. 👍🌻😃

[@Romewise]

My pleasure! Thanks for watching!

[@ralphcasale9702]

Another truly spectacular video! Have you ever explored whether you could combine your videos and sell them online (might make a fabulous gift) or perhaps explore whether a television channel would broadcast them? Thanks again for the video!

[@LL-ye5tz]

Just came back from Rome, more or less did that walk twice between my first lodging and second. In Rome one easily puts 20k steps daily and not get bored.

[@Romewise]

Yes that's one thing I love about Rome - you can walk and walk and there is always something to see!

[@lisekapp268]

Love it! This is the same walk along with stops that I make when in Rome!

[@Romewise]

Thank you! I'm glad you know this walk - it's a good one! Thanks for watching!

[@kellycarroll6829]

Good video! thanks! 💚 do you have a tour guide that you recommend for similar sites? I like the way you explain things! 🌟

[@Romewise]

Thanks so much. Yes, I have linked to my recommended tours in the description and also in the pinned comment. There are two that do more or less this route. One is more in-depth (and costs more) than the other but both are excellent options.

[@slowmanwalking34]

A wonderful video. Although its been many years Palazzo Zuccari is always a quick must see for me.

[@Romewise]

Thanks!

[@catherinechiara3914]

That statue of Saint John Paul 2 is an insult. 😮 Thank you so much for your fabulous video. I always learn something new about the eternal city.

[@Romewise]

Yes, I know so many people dislike it. Thanks for your kind comments! I'm glad you liked the rest of the video!

[@Hoakaloa]

I always learn so many new things from your excellently produced and very helpful videos. Mille grazie! Now, if only there were a quantum portal from Maui to Roma!

[@Romewise]

Thanks very much! Oh, I love the idea of a portal - trade places?

[@Hoakaloa]

@@Romewise Prego. I really enjoy all your videos. Wouldn't it be great to be able to just transport to/from Roma & Maui? Dream big. The travel time to/from Europe just kills me as I get older. Luckily I have been able to visit Italy, France, and the UK several times. Aloha!🌴

[@Romewise]

@@Hoakaloa So true!! Aloha back to you!

[@matthewgiuliano7498]

You're the best Elyssa!! Another fabulous walk. You provide history, important information and context in such a natural conversational way... not to mention the beauty of everything! And clearly, you love your subject. ♥️ Thanks.

[@Romewise]

Thank you so much for your kind comments! Yes, I do love my subject and I love making videos that people like you enjoy! Thanks again!

[@Godlvr008]

Excellent insight and history lesson. Did that walk 15 yrs ago w/o your insight. Did see Andy Garcia coming out of Gucci which thrilled girlfriend.

[@Romewise]

Thank you so much as always! How fun to have e celebrity sighting! Glad you enjoyed the video! 🙏

[@alanzeleznikar]

Good explanation of the Meridian in Santa Maria degli Angeli e dei Martiri. I think most visitors don't get it at all and the explanatory signage is just in Italian if I recall correctly (at least it was the last time I was in there).

[@Romewise]

Thank you! I actually did a deep dive into studying it because I wanted to understand what it was and how it worked. I love sharing arcane things like this because I hope it makes a difference in how people enjoy my videos. Thanks a lot for noticing and commenting! (PS - in the sacristy in the back, it is explained also in English but the explanation is far from clear in either language.)

[@diannewheatleygiliotti8513]

Thanks!

[@Romewise]

Thank you for your kindness! I appreciate you!

[@carolynthompson6518]

Fabulous video ❤

[@Romewise]

You are so kind!

[@carlienmcphee3744]

Really great! We are visiting Rome soon and source all our attractions and walking tours from your channel. We are going to stay at the Napoleon, and you mentioned a market in the video. I love the markets and really would like to visit the one you mentioned. Could you possibly give me the name? And it would be great to have a video on the markets in Rome or Florence? - When you wonder about what theme next. :-) Thanks for the great content.

[@Romewise]

Thanks so much! Yes, near the Napoleon, you will find the Piazza Vittorio market, officially known as the Mercato Esquilino. I don't yet have a video about markets in Rome, but I'll put that idea on my list! In the meantime, I do have a page about Rome markets on the website: www.romewise.com/rome-food-markets.html In these videos, I share 3 of the top markets in Florence - 2 food and 1 leather: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a5zdpJp_hLWse9E kzbin.info/www/bejne/q4S1qWyBgLaoaLs

[@carlienmcphee3744]

@@Romewise Thank you

[@myhometoitaly]

as usual you offer tips and info I did not know after many, many trips to Roma. Questions: is there a list on your website that details the churches you showed in the Video? Also, I prefer to follow a map so the list of stops will help me plot out the route. If you have a map that marks each church, please let me know. I am forwarding this to Japanese friends who will be there in October

[@Romewise]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you found the video interesting. I don't have a specific list on my website of these churches in a list form. I do cover some of these churches on my website, for example, here: www.romewise.com/special-churches-in-rome.html For this walk, there is a Google map link in the description. Thanks for sharing and forwarding to your friends!

[@josephfilla3573]

Elyssa is best source of Rome info on the entire interwebs! Full Stop 🛑

[@Romewise]

You are so kind!! I can't thank you enough!

[@lauriegauthier4445]

We will be staying near the Vatican when in Rome in September. Any suggestions for getting around?

[@Romewise]

Yes, you can use the metro to get around Rome easily, but depending on where you are staying, and depending on your energy level and interests, you can walk a lot of places, too. www.romewise.com/rome-metro.html
