This site has been on my list to visit for years, and thanks to your video and notice, I've booked a slot for this March 2024. Thank you so much for your informative videos, and I am definitely a subscriber!

[@tunnus.123]

Great.

[@michaelm5894]

Thanks for this video - I've read about it, hope to see it sometime. If I can't, at least I have this video to watch!

[@Romewise]

Thanks for watching! It is now open on Fridays through April...maybe they will keep it open longer! I hope you can visit it. I'm glad you enjoyed the video!

[@sludford]

Very interesting. I had never heard of this before.

[@Romewise]

Thanks for watching! Yes it's very little known but I find it truly amazing!

[@mariazolkiew8658]

I was there one week ago. It's so nice to see it again.❤

[@Godlvr008]

Thanks for another interesting video😆

[@Romewise]

Thanks for watching!

[@ralphcasale9702]

You’re so very welcome! You’ve probably made trips to Rome by countless people so much more enjoyable, pleasant, and memorable.

[@Romewise]

Wow that's such a lovely thing to say - thanks so much, you made my day!

[@diannewheatleygiliotti8513]

Thanks!

[@Romewise]

Thank you so much!!

[@peterjones7673]

Wow Elyssa you have done it again, another great video and insight in to another new place for us to learn about when we return to Rome, To see everything you have told us about we need to come to Rome for a month never mind a few days. Your knowledge and perfect way of telling us about these magnificent places is second to none. Thank you so much

[@Romewise]

Thanks so much Peter, as always. I know this particular place is quite esoteric. I debated about sharing it since it's not possible to visit it, but I love sharing some of these lesser known sites in Rome and their fascinating history. I'm really glad you enjoyed it!

[@Evan-lx9lw]

Thank you for another interesting video. P.S. Christianity had gotten to Rome by the middle of the first century. Paul wrote to the church in Rome in the 50s.

[@Romewise]

Thanks for watching. Yes, you are right. I should have clarified that it was barely known and had not yet begun to be practiced widely.

[@denisefuentes7905]

It’s super fun getting tips from you. I’m coming to Rome on March 1 until June 1 and I can’t wait.

[@Romewise]

Thanks so much for watching! I'm glad you enjoy my videos. I hope you'll have a wonderful visit this spring! (Although the first 3 weeks will still be winter - enjoy!)

[@paulcapaccio9905]

@@Romewise love your videos. We’ve been to Roma 32 times. Twice every year. Can’t get enough

[@Romewise]

Thanks so much! Yes, I know how you feel about Rome - I live here and I can't get enough! :) @@paulcapaccio9905

[@elsapretorius5646]

Thank your videos, Elyssa. You present the information really well and your research shows 🙂 Hubby and I are coming to Rome for 7 nights in May. I really want to visit Villa Adriana and Villa d'Este while we are there. Just wondering if you could do a video about how to get there by public transport and information about booking tickets.

[@Romewise]

Thank you so much for letting me know you enjoy my videos and find them helpful! I'm glad you enjoy them. Great suggestion about visiting Tivoli as a day trip. I'll put it on the list! You might find these videos helpful: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jaK3gn2ghs9kmrM kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJLEc42fl7yhe7c

We were looking for entrance to this basilica in small square (approx where you stayed) but we haven't found it. It is keep secret?

[@Romewise]

Well the basilica is almost never open, so that may be why you don't see the entrance. But if you stand in front of Porta Maggiore where the baker's tomb is, with the tomb to your back, the entrance to this basilica is to your left and across the street. Please see my note in the description that it IS open for visits on Fridays through April. So maybe you can go if you are here then!

[@Amaryllis-r5z]

@@Romewise Thank you very much! We will try! It is rarety, as Gothic Hall in Santi Quattro Coronati.

[@Romewise]

Yes, that's indeed one of my favorite sites in Rome. It's too bad they forbid all photos (and video) inside. Otherwise, I'd love to share it, as well! @@Amaryllis-r5z

[@lornamorgan3575]

I'm so jealous. I've wanted to do this, but it's never been open.

[@Romewise]

I understand! Even living here, it's been very difficult to see. It was only opened briefly in 2015 and 2016, then closed and then open for 3 days in January 2024. Even then it was sold out and I just kept the page open and kept refreshing it and one day, 7 tickets were finally available! I was so grateful! I hope they'll open it again and I hope you get to see it!

[@evelyngrammar]

I will never feel that I know even a 10th of what's in Rome.

[@Romewise]

I live here and I feel the same way! Believe me there are still places I have not yet seen/explored. The Romans say "A lifetime is not enough!"

[@FionaMacdonald-p9p]

Great video as always.However,the ancient religions didn`t die out in favour of Christianity they were supressed and crushed by said religion.

[@Romewise]

Thanks so much for your kind compliments, and thanks also for the correction - that is a more correct way of putting it indeed!

[@paulcapaccio9905]

And thank God
