“I spent a few hours today walking the Appian Way with Oscar, of Walk Rome Green. Sometimes on these kinds of trips you get a guide who dutifully recites what you’re looking at and moves onto the next item. Not Oscar! He is truly passionate about history and its relation to us today. He came equipped with an iPad showing reconstructions of what some of the ruins may have looked like, filling in background stories of the people and families involved. We spent a considerable time in two of the museums on the Way, and had to stop for coffee once. Truly remarkable video work at the mausoleum of Cecilia Metella brings the past to life, and a remarkable glimpse into the “small” estate at the other end of the walk. The park is not a crowded mess, you have space to enjoy what you’re experiencing. And the poppies were blooming everywhere! It was gorgeous. My strong suggestion is – go for it! I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.”
