Description

Foro Italico offers an immersive route blending sports, history, and monumental architecture, granting access to spaces usually closed to the public.

The tour begins at the Obelisk of Foro Italico, the complex’s emblematic landmark. You then walk along Viale del Foro Italico, known as the 'street of propaganda,' where mosaics, inscriptions, and architectural details reveal the aesthetics and ideology of Fascism in Italy.

Next, you enter the heart of Foro Italico, passing its most significant sites until reaching Stadio dei Marmi, surrounded by 60 marble statues representing athletic strength and discipline. The journey continues to Pietrangeli Stadium and the Central Stadium, home to the annual Internazionali BNL d'Italia tennis tournament, showcasing world-class sporting tradition.

The tour’s highlight is entry into the stadium’s interior. You walk through the Tunnel of Glory to the museum displaying trophies, images, and stories of historic sporting moments. Visit the mixed zone—an important meeting point for athletes and media—and the official dressing rooms of AS Roma, SS Lazio, and the Italian national soccer team.

The experience ends on the edge of the field and in the Monte Mario Stand, offering privileged views of the arena’s expanse. The tour finishes in the bar and shop area for refreshments and souvenirs.

During the Internazionali BNL d'Italia tournament, major sporting events, and summer concerts in June, some areas might be inaccessible or replaced by alternative routes.
