So the hospital itself has been a place of healing for 500 years but what's interesting is that Tiber Island also held the Temple of Asclepius in Ancient Rome. Asclepius was the god of medicine and healing; therefore, you could say that the island itself has been a place of healing for over 2,300 years. :)

I love Nonna Betta's..every time I go to Rome, I make sure I come here for the "Lamb with salted Roast poratoes" best lamb that melts in the mouth, Ive ever had!! I will return in 2020! I always see something different each time I go, I never get bored of Rome..too many hidden Gems still to explore!

Great video guys! 😄🙌🏼 Super informative and entertaining

[@Gianemakeup]

So helpful and informative! Thank you!❤️

[@stevekazan]

Taking the two teenagers to Rome this July and your videos might actually get them to learn a little before we go. Your videos are making me gain weight just watching them. Keep them coming!

Going back to Rome in a few weeks so thanks for your recommendations to this fascinating neighborhood. I will definitely visit it.

Tip: please change the music.

So cool, I will be staying in the Jewish Quarter during my first ever visit to the eternal city next month. I found this amazing property from 1578 called Palazzo Costaguti at Piazza Mattei, I do sincerely look forward to the entire trip. I might even be tempted to go on a tour with you guys, as I have never been on one before, though I travel to Europe almost every three to four weeks. Thanks for this episode dude, and keep up the great work.

[@AlexanderLittlebears]

It wasn't in the Jewish ghetto, the Costaguti family is obviously Italian. And the ghetto doesn't even exist anymone, it was a few streets that were entirely demolished in the late 1800s.

[@sanjinv]

I just got back from my first visit to Rome, I wish I had seen your excellent videos before! Reconsider the music and "vocal captions" in italian, though... :)

[@rgroppi1305]

I like all of your videos. I have been to most of the places in your videos. Have you done a video on the Roman underground?

Excellent. I cannot wait to go back to Roma.

[@MrEricSir]

The pizza slices at Pizza Florida were so good, but now I wish I'd tried the fried artichokes. Seems like a solid excuse to go back to Rome.

[@hillelhillel6998]

a very good video!

[@m.simmons7149]

Really love and appreciate the videos! Small typo: Pompey, not Pompeii. I know you guys know the difference, but mention it for anyone else who might be interested. Caesar was assassinated at a meeting of the senate, yes, but the senate wasn't meeting at the Curia (the regular senate house in the Forum), as it was being repaired. Instead, the senate was meeting in a temple on the grounds of the theater of Pompey (the general Caesar defeated), not Pompeii (the city buried by the eruption of Vesuvius).

[@janettgonzalez3735]

Thank you for the video, I am planning to go on November, definitely I will be visiting this neighborhood, any tip?any other suggestion?

[@davesmith2037]

Great informative video! Will go in September, Any tip where to stay here in Rome? Something unique, clean, central and not too pricey? Thanks

[@randomramble3718]

You should get an audio recorder with a lavalier mic which you can wear on you. You need great audio to match your great videos!

[@mirellaczajkowska-turek5819]

Great guide, but this music... well:))

[@glennhalila8279]

This video was Awesome! My Dad did the DNA Ancestry and he found out that he's 49% Italian. I was always told that I was half Safardic and half Ashkinasic. My Dad's Dad was born in Istanbul Turkey and his wife was born in Barcelona Spain. I'm trying to connect the dots. Imagine finding this out in your 80's like my Dad did? I'm 60 years old and I now know that I have Roots in Italy.

[@giovannimoriggi5833]

Rome’s community is not about Saphardic and Ashkenazic, because it’s earlier than diaspora. Has come before the split, I think it’s the only one. For any mistake I’m sorry, I’m Italians but not Jewish

[@SalvatoreEscoti]

we have the same artichokes in Sicily Trapani/Palermo area. Fried...

[@joescott123]

thats because 30% of sicily was jewish prior to the expulsion of all jews by casa aragon in 1502. same food, same people. i hope one day more sicilians recognise their jewish roots. i am one of them

totally a grand area to visit, drenched in magnificent Roman ruins, but also jewish shops and restaurants. the prices were astronomic, though. there was no way i would spend that kinda money on food. so i walked a few blocs out, and got myself two slices (of outstanding pizza) for a euro each!

Dirk Van Hook actually anywhere where you are in the world you can google Chabad and find a Rabbi for any jewish anything you might need

[@murrayaronson3753]

There's at least one Jewish religious goods store in the Ghetto. I bought an Italian siddur (prayer book) there. I'm sure you could find a mezuzah there too.

"With the exception of brief periods under Napoleon from 1808 to 1815 and under the Roman Republics of 1798-99 and 1849, the ghetto of Rome was controlled by the papacy until the capture of Rome in 1870." the new Italian state abolished such entities, hence the Jewish community building a great temple shortly afterward

interesting clip, but that music is a little obnoxious for the entire video...

[@tmo7734]

I’ve viewed several “The Roman Guy” videos. They are rather poorly produced. Oftentimes, the music is annoying and in some cases as loud as the commentary.
