As a born and raised roman, i would say that this is a good content, the only issue is that you focused only on the center of Rome basically, that represents the 30% of the whole city!

Trevi Fountain: 15:46
St Peter's Square: 17:16
I was there in july 2023. It was too hot for me. I saw a lot but not as much as i would have liked.
Influence of Rome: 18:38
As a studying landscape architect, seeing these huge oval piazzas surrounding the obelisks, I can almost see the heat coming off of them. They could probably benefit so much from some raised flower beds and greenery!!! It must be so so hot, and the residual heat coming off of the stones heating up the air so much in that place.
But for the content of the video I loved it so much! Giving a much closer look at the city planning and the importance of it, as well as history on the architects and explanation of styles 😍👏🏼👏🏼

Great video about a great city!
@2010scienceteacherGreat video.
@frankmathews1358Watching this in Trastevere. I’m a lucky girl.
@evathrivesWonderful! So concise yet informative.
@melaniecomoharris4738A dump
@RobertoCandiani-l4rThis was so well researched and made, thank you
@emitsienimThank you so much for your inclusive explanation of Rome’s structure. I’ve lived there for 15 years, still go back from time to time. I thought I knew the city quite well, but your video gives me so much insight! I often drove through Via delle quattro fontane, but didn’t know what its story was …
@Chris-kv8fythank you for this information
@smackedupwackoInteresting to notice that pope Paul the 5th was from the Borghese family.
When you consider that and you check the location of the villa Borghese and the plan of the streets going just from Piazza del Populo, you make your conclusions.
Anyway, just spend a marvellous week in Rome and that town is a perfect place. So beautiful, full of history, art, livestyle.
To me, no other town in the world can challenge that.
Por qué no se pronuncian BIEN los nombres de los lugares y monumentos?
@dddeeddddeeddddeedsswdddee4794Very well done, appreciate this video!
@AliyuAbubakar-s8hOh yah ???
They have straw huts in Central Africa !!!!
I wish I could have seen this video before I went to the city 15 years ago
@1joshjosh1Sadly living in this city is so bad. Dirty, bad infrastructure, it feels like nobody cares. And I was born here.
@guidofoc7057Roma has more beatiful and art that the 90% of world s nation.My favorite city. And ancient Rome my favorite history,with Greece. But i m italian,so...
Do you understand me? I don really know!
Great video. Any reading recommendations in English on Rome's history, focusing on urban planning/expansion? Many thanks
@jjjintheukExcelente! Estuve en Roma y terminé mareado sin entender su lógica, ahora volveré conociendo mucho más de su trazado! Muchas gracias! Y felicitaciones por la Fender que aparece al final
@danieltarche1181I don't know what's going on, but the automated translation to German is abysmal +I'd like the text either in English or Italian.
Frustrating!
Amazing content as always!
@IshaqHussein-n4uI am in Rome in my hotel room watching this video
@russjean1359What a fabulous video!
@A_Brit_In_Bavaria10:00 deeply ironic that Aurelius is the last statue. So stoic he just let the centuries roll over him like water.
@icedancer23704:49 "The original 5 churches" is not a thing in Rome. You're likely conflating the original 5 "Patriarchal" churches around the world with the original four "Major Basilicas" in Rome.
Bro your research is weak.
3:57 Your map of the Aurelian Wall is incorrect. It never encompassed the Vatican. Rather the Leonine Wall in 9th century.
@DavidTurner11My grandpa used to bathe in the Tiber when he was very little, before the port on Via Ripetta was removed.
@rominagoldie16Very cool video. I love Rome. I think you are Mexican or central American, guessing from your pronunciation of Italian words.
@franktaylor79784:13 sixtus be like " make rome great Again "
@rashedpk4314I’m in a Rome airport watching this video, having spent two days walking around, and I can’t wait to come back ❤
@jsmith6974using fake maps generated by AI instantly makes me question the validity of anything you've said in this video so far. not watching the rest.
@paulrevere1183Have been several times and love it more every time….
@BobLangboI am currently in Rome and after just two days of visiting this brilliant city, I fell in love with it, thanks for your great explanation ❤
@Ben.NikofarrThank you so much for these videos. You give great insights.
@etiennebarnard8408Happy to say we’re moving to Rome this year. It’s been a long time plan and is finally coming to life. See you all there
@disgraced-empireRome started it, Paris did it a bit better. Layout wise. But both are amazing
@fazmoze5626Excellent video…👏👏👏👏….!!
@luisortizgervasi3820Word around town says all roads lead to it
@spokenbydaniExcellent! I thoroughly enjoyed this.
