Description

Find out about six Roman celebrities on a guided walking tour of the Italian capital – the famous talking statues of Rome!

These statue parlanti have been the talk of the town for centuries. Often criticizing Italian society, government (and even the pope!), sarcastic and cynical messages appear at the feet of these statues each night, written in rhyme by a mysterious bard.

Follow your expert guide as they provide historical context and decode the meaning of each message. On this talking statues tour, you'll meet:

Babuino (the baboon) near the Spanish Steps

Facchino (the porter) as a drinking fountain

Marforio at Piazza del Campidoglio who represents the river Tiber

Madama Lucrezia, the namesake of the palace next door

Abbot Luigi, a late Roman sculpture wearing a toga

Pasquino in Piazza Navona, the most famous of them all
