The adventure kicks off as we make our way to Villa Avellino, a historic park encompassing remains of ancient Roman cisterns, symbols that signify the city’s monumental architectural and hydraulic significance during its imperial peak.

Our journey continues towards the San Guiseppe incline, leading us down to the remarkable Macellum, an ancient Roman marketplace widely recognized as the Temple of Serapis, named after the discovery of a statue of the Egyptian god in the area during excavations. Notably, this site stands as a prominent illustration of Bradyseism, a phenomenon distinctly observed in this region.

Finally, we will ascend towards the Rione Terra rock, where you will delve into the neighborhood's past, revisiting significant events such as the evacuation that took place on March 2, 1970, prompted by the dangers linked to Bradyseism, up until the recent revitalization of the area.

Concluding our 2-hour walking tour, we will return to the starting point to bid farewell.
