Stuart Harvey takes us along the River Tiber through Rome from Tiber Island to Ponte Milvio just beyond the city centre.
Starting with the legend of Romulus and Remus and the founding of Rome, and leading us through to the Unification of Italy and Rome’s new role as a modern capital city, the Tiber will lead us through 28 centuries of Roman history told by the historic bridges and riverside monuments. Roman Emperors, Renaissance Popes, Kings of Italy and some of the important and controversial political figures of the 19th and 20th centuries will feature along the way as we enjoy the beautiful views of "Er Biondo Tevere" ... "The Blond Tiber", as it is known in Rome.
