Museo Nazionale Etrusco di Villa Giulia

The National Etruscan Museum in Villa Giulia is considered the most representative Italian Museum of the Etruscan civilization and is located within Villa Giulia, the suburban residence of Pope Jules III (1550-55), designed by Vignola and realized with the participation of Ammannati and Vasari. In 1889 the villa was destined to be the Museum of the pre-Roman Antiquities of Latium. Two wings were added between 1912 and 1923. Specific sections are also dedicated to Etruscan epigraphy, to the history of the Museum and to the architectonic complex of Valle Giulia. Of particular interest are the exhibits of the Apollo from Veio (sixth century BC), the Sarcophagus of the Spouses from Cerveteri (sixth century BC), the high relief and the golden thin sheets from Pyrgi (fifth century BC), the Apollo dello Scasato from Falerii (fourth century BC), the Centaur from Vulci (sixth century BC) and the so-called Cista Ficoroni from Palestrina (fourth century BC).

Vincenzo was absolutely amazing. His knowledge of the history and culture of those times was incredible. We can't wait to return to Rome and have another tour with him.

I visited Rome in July and was fortunate enough to do a tour of the National Etruscan Museum of Villa Giulia with Rome Guides. Vincenzo was a pleasure to listen to, and a treasure trove of information. He made the Museum come alive for me, and I learned more than I could have imagined! His sense of humor and love for history made this a unique experience for me. The museum is housed in a spectacular villa with beautiful gardens, and that added to the experience. This museum is off the beaten track for foreign visitors and I really enjoyed that too. We came across a Parkinson’s movement group in the museum, doing a dance class and it was fascinating to peek at something totally local like that. It was moving. The museum itself is a treasure trove but if not for Vincenzo’s comments, it would have been much less interesting. Later that afternoon, I ran into Vincenzo near the Pantheon, giving another tour, and I followed him for a couple of blocks while he gave a tour to first time visitors. His enthusiasm was evident and judging by the laughter, contagious! I have spent a lot of time in Rome, and Rome Guides has a lot to offer someone like me, as well as the first time visitor. Do not hesitate to book with them!

The reclining couple, and the lively tomb, were transporting. Vincenzo was the best guide we could ever have imagined and much more. He made the Etruscans come alive for us and captured our imaginations.we could picture them as a real society. He infused us with his passion. And we were already passionate about the Etruscans. Our expectations were very high. He more than met them. And he was very sweet, too.

Abbiamo organizzato il tour per il compleanno di nostro figlio (15 anni). Vincenzo, la guida, ha davvero sorpreso tutti. E' riuscito a rendere entusiasmante, ad un gruppo di adolescenti, un tour in uno dei musei più difficili da raccontare. Straconsigliato! Se volete rendere interessante un tour storico/didattico trasformandolo una esperienza ludica, divertente e quasi teatrale...questa è la guida che state cercando!

Vincenzo è stato coinvolgente e ci ha fatto scoprire particolari sulla civiltà etrusca a me sconosciuti. Bravo, capace di catturare l'attenzione. Grazie

Visita al museo Etrusco di Villa Giulia, Vincenzo si conferma essere ogni volta una guida ECCEZIONALE! Ci ha portati nel mondo del popolo etrusco con passione professionalità. Consigliatissimo.

Oggi visita al museo di Villa Giulia,alla ricerca della storia degli etruschi , condotta egregiamente da Vincenzo, che ci ha svelato misteri e conoscenze, senza annoiarci anzi stimolando di sala in sala il coinvolgimento e l interesse. Da consigliare vivamente

Oggi ho partecipato alla visita alla mostra Inferno alle Scuderie del Quirinale accompagnati da Vincenzo. È stata una esperienza da ricordare perché Vincenzo nei panni di Dante ci ha mostrato e commentato tutte le opere presenti facendoci rivivere lo spirito di Dante . Ma la cosa straordinaria di questa esperienza è che il Dante di Vincenzo non aveva un tempo storico poteva vivere il medioevo e la nostra contemporaneità. Vincenzo ci ha accompagnato con estrema competenza ma soprattutto ci ha affascinato con la sua cultura e le sue citazioni classiche e ironiche sull’attualità. La mostra alle Scuderia finisce domani ma seguite Le visite organizzate da Vincenzo perché vi stupirà e arricchirà il vostro sapere e la vostra curiosità con i suoi modi garbati e competenti e trasformerà ogni vostra visita in esperienza

Visita incredibile alla scoperta di una Civiltà mirabile che ha saputo influenzare Greci e Romani. Lasciatevi condurre dal magistrale Vincenzo che con la sua narrazione avvincente vi farà riflettere, pensare, appassionare e sorridere in modo benevolo di fronte alla storia di questo popolo straordinario. Vi auguro come sempre buon ascolto.

Il giro del museo è stato appassionante, frizzante e molto interessante. Vincenzo è una guida a dir poco perfetta con una capacità comunicativa ed espressiva più unica che rara. Preparatissimo, estremamente educato e con una passione per la storia percepibile ad ogni sua parola. Mi è piaciuto così tanto il tour che sicuramente quando tornerò a Roma prenoterò altri itinerari con loro. Non si può vedere Roma senza di loro.
