You are "experiencing" a summer day in Rome. The 30 minute walk comes with a
choice of two soundtracks (
both are included on the DVD).
You may choose the lively, upbeat music suitable for a good cardio workout on your
treadmill, or you may choose to hear the natural sounds as they were recorded
on site in Rome.
Exercising has never been easier or more enjoyable!
And these videos are so rich in details
that you will notice something new every
time you view them.
This DVD also makes the perfect gift
for people who want to experience rome in a totally unique way:
a way not possible with traditional travel videos.
A Description of the Walk
The first section of your walk begins outside the famous "Harry's Bar"
on the elegant Via Veneto, forever linked to "La Dolce Vita."
As the Via Veneto curves gently and sweeps downhill, you pass luxury hotels
and restaurants with their unique glass-enclosed "outdoor" cafes.
During the 1950's and early 1960's, this street was the exclusive haunt of the pleasure-loving ultra-
rich such as King Farouk, and celebrities like Anita Ekberg, Gina Lollobrigida, and Audrey Hepburn.
Today the maxim still holds that, "There isn't a single famous person who,
passing through rome, doesn't spare a bit of time to visit the Via Veneto."
The first half of your walk ends in Piazza Barberini with its famous Triton Fountain,
created in 1642 by Bernini.
The second section of your walk begins on the Ponte Sisto which spans the Tiber River,
and continues through the colorful narrow streets surrounding the Campo de' Fiori.
Dodging Italians on their Vespas, your walk continues through the cultural center of
secular rome. You pass a cross section of Roman life, all out to enjoy an early evening
stroll before a typically late Italian dinner in one of the many outdoor cafes.
Your 30 minute walk in Rome ends as you pass through a piazza and enter a small garden.
