Many shows for a hot Roman summer
Not only music in Rome, but also shows! In just three months, there will be numerous appointments, as well as plenty of choices.
The Terme di Caracalla will host not only concerts, but also the much loved Italian writer Andrea Camilleri. On July 15th, Camilleri will bring to the stage his latest work, "Autodifesa di Caino", a book that aims to analyse the story of Cain and how he managed to kill his brother Abel. The author's own voice will accompany the audience in this discovery and narration.
The timeless Gigi Proietti, always a lover of theatre, will perform at the Auditorium Parco della Musica on July 18th with the show "Cavalli di Battaglia". Proietti will remember the repertoire that made him famous and loved by the Italian audience: it will be a popular show, offering drama, singing, mime, poetry, with comic and multicultural features.
Summer, however, is the season for children, it is the period when they can have fun and rest after the end of school. Here is a show specifically designed for them: Little Red Riding Hood. From June 1st to 16th, at San Carlino in Villa Borghese, you can live the famous fairy tale of Little Red Riding Hood and his adventures to reach his sick grandmother again. A very ancient but always fashionable fairy tale.

Summer nights in Rome
Summer is especially loved for the possibility of staying far from home, until late without having to get cold and, above all, without getting bored. Evening is also the best time to discover suggestive corners of the Eternal City.
Here you are the evening guided tours available from the first until June 13th:
• Along Dan Brown footsteps: Angels and Demons in Rome. Dan Brown's best seller becomes a map you can follow in the middle of the night, rediscovering the monuments mentioned in the book.
• Night tour of the Imperial Forums. A guided tour along the streets of the forums with the participation of actors who will cheer the walk with stories, curiosities and anecdotes.
• The Borgia's: sensuality in charge. Everybody knows how important and influential the Borgia's were, without forgetting their murky secrets, incest and murders. This guided tour goes around some of the symbolic places of Borgia's power: you will find out more about this powerful family, their flaws, their merits and, of course, their misdeeds.
• Esoteric Rome: heretics, magicians and witches in the Rome of the Inquisition. This tour will deal with a hot and intriguing topic: the dark times of persecution, black magic and accusations made against private citizens. The years of the Inquisition were certainly terrible and bloody, but they still manage to tickle the curiosity of many people.
• Vatican Museums: night openings. Every Friday until October 25th, it will be possible to visit the museums, the Superior Galleries, the Raphael Rooms, some rooms of the Borgia Apartment, the Modern Religious Art Collection and, of course, the Sistine Chapel.
