Behind an ordinary unmarked door in the heart of historic Rome, only a privileged few can enter this secret space.
Will you be one of them?

This is one of the only places in the city where you can descend to the original ancient Roman street level, far from the crowds and chaos. 

Only ItaliaPass members have the rare opportunity to explore this unique gem.
