• St. Angelo Bridge - RECOMMENDED FIRST EMBARKATION POINT! Ponte Sant’Angelo, also known as Pons Aelius (Helios Bridge), Pons Hadriani (Hadrian’s Bridge), or Castello Bridge, links Piazza di Ponte Sant’Angelo to the Vatican Lungotevere in Rome, within the Ponte and Borgo districts. Constructed in 134 by Emperor Hadrian and designed by Demetrianus, it was intended to connect his mausoleum to the left bank. Built with peperino and covered in travertine, it featured three arches accessed by ramps from the shore. These ramps were supported by three smaller arches on the left bank and two on the right, leading to Hadrian’s mausoleum. These were replaced by modern arches during the 1893 riverbank construction. The street level had high sidewalks with travertine balustrades.

• Museo Nazionale di Castel Sant’Angelo - The story begins in 135 AD when Emperor Hadrian commissioned architect Demetriano to build a monumental mausoleum for himself and his family, inspired by the Mausoleum of Augustus. The construction took several years and was completed by Antoninus Pius in 139. It was built opposite the Campus Martius, connected by the specially constructed Ponte Elio. The mausoleum featured a cubic base clad in lunense marble, with a decorative frieze of ox heads (Bucrani) and corner pilasters. The frieze facing the river bore the names of the emperors buried within. On this side was the entrance arch dedicated to Hadrian; the dromos (access passage) was entirely clad in ancient yellow marble.

• St. Peter’s Basilica - The Papal Basilica of Saint Peter in the Vatican, or simply Saint Peter’s Basilica, is a church of the Italian High Renaissance located in Vatican City. Initially planned in the 15th century by Pope Nicholas V and later by Pope Julius II to replace the aging Old St. Peter’s Basilica, built in the fourth century by Roman Emperor Constantine the Great. Construction of the current basilica began on 18 April 1506 and was completed on 18 November 1626. Principally designed by Donato Bramante, Michelangelo, and Carlo Maderno, with piazza and fittings by Gian Lorenzo Bernini, St. Peter’s is one of the most renowned works of Italian Renaissance architecture and is the largest church in the world by interior measure. Although it is neither the mother church of the Catholic Church nor the cathedral of the Diocese of Rome, St. Peter’s is considered one of the holiest Catholic shrines. It has been described as “holding a unique position in the Christian world” and as “the greatest.”

• Ponte Vittorio Emanuele II - Designed by architect Ennio De Rossi in 1886, it was initially called the Vittorio Emanuele bridge before construction began. Work was halted and resumed only in 1908, with the bridge first inaugurated on 5 May 1911, marking the fiftieth anniversary of Italy’s Unification, and again on 28 April 1912, with the final installation of the travertine groups. It features three arches spanning 110 meters and is adorned at the ends by high bases with winged Victories and symbolic sculptural groups at the central pylons, technically designed by the Allegri company. The bronze Victories were crafted by sculptors Elmo Palazzi, Luigi Casadio, Amleto Cataldi, and Francesco Pifferetti. The travertine sculptural groups were created and inaugurated the following year by Giuseppe Romagnoli for La fidelity to the Statute (after the battle of Novara, 1849); Italo Griselli for Il Valore Militare (the …

• Ponte Principe Amedeo Savoia Aosta - Ponte Principe Amedeo Savoia Aosta, also known as Principe bridge or PASA bridge, connects the Lungotevere dei Sangallo to Piazza Della Rovere in Rome, within the Ponte, Trastevere, and Borgo districts.

• Trastevere - During Rome’s foundation, the Trastevere area was a contested land belonging to the Etruscans of Veii (litus tuscus or ripa veiens), strategic for controlling the river, the Tiber island ford, and the ancient river port. It was connected to the city via the Sublicius pons, from which the Via Campana led to the Tyrrhenian Sea salt pans and later the Via Aurelia to Etruscan cities. In the Republican era, it was inhabited by workers linked to the river, such as sailors and fishermen, along with oriental immigrants, mainly Jews and Syrians. Consequently, temples of oriental cults, including the Syriac Sanctuary on the Janiculum, emerged in the area. The area’s integration into the city began with Emperor Augustus, who divided Rome into 14 regions; …

• Campo Marzio - Since the royal era, the area was dedicated to the god Mars and used for military exercises. It is said that near the Palus Caprae, Rome’s first king, Romulus, was taken to heaven. Tarquinius the Proud took over the area and cultivated it for wheat. According to legend, during the revolt that led to the king’s expulsion, the wheat sheaves were thrown into the river, forming Tiber Island. With the Republican era’s onset, the Campus Martius returned to public use and was reconsecrated to the god. It hosted the comitia centuriata, assemblies of the armed populace. The southernmost part of the plain, starting from the Capitoline Hill slopes (where the Theater of Marcellus and the portico of Ottavia remains are visible), was distinct from the actual Campus Martius, known as Circo Flaminio. The area was traversed by the Via Flaminia, whose urban section was called Via Lata (now Via del Corso).

• Colle del Gianicolo - The Janiculum Promenade, offering one of the most captivating views of Rome’s historic center, consists of two large avenues lined with plane trees, bordering Villa Aurelia, converging at Piazzale Garibaldi. They continue along a single road winding towards the church of Sant’Onofrio, completed in 1939 to finish the Walk. The area, a theater of the 1849 Roman Republic fighters’ heroic events, was transformed in 1883 by the new Italian institutions into a public promenade dedicated to the Defense of Rome’s memory. Along the avenues are 84 busts of illustrious Garibaldians who defended Rome in 1849. Notable monuments include Emilio Gallori’s equestrian statue dedicated to Giuseppe Garibaldi and Mario Rutelli’s equestrian monument to Anita Garibaldi from the 1930s, and the lighthouse donated by Italians in Argentina for the fiftieth …

• Ponte Sisto - Built by Pope Sixtus IV between 1473 and 1479, the bridge allows crossing the Tiber at the site of an older Roman bridge. It connects the riverbanks between via del Pettinari and piazza Trilussa. The first bridge was constructed by Agrippa, a friend and son-in-law of Emperor Augustus, before his death in 12 BC, likely to link his properties on the Tiber’s opposite banks. This bridge’s existence is confirmed by an inscription on a stone of the river magistrates (curatores Tiberis) found in 1887, mentioning works on the bridge during Emperor Claudius’s time. Initially identified with the pylon remains visible downstream of Ponte Sisto, these likely belong to a late river fortification.

• Pont Fabricius - The Pons Fabricius (Italian: Ponte Fabricio, “Fabrician Bridge”) or Ponte dei Quattro Capi, is the oldest Roman bridge in Rome, Italy, still in its original state. Built in 62 BC, it spans half of the Tiber River, from the Campus Martius on the east side to Tiber Island in the middle (the Pons Cestius is west of the island). Quattro Capi (“four heads”) refers to the two marble pillars of the two-faced Janus herms on the parapet, moved here from the nearby Church of St Gregory (Monte Savello) in the 14th century. According to Dio Cassius, the bridge was built in 62 BC, the year after Cicero was consulted, to replace an earlier wooden bridge destroyed by fire. Commissioned by Lucius Fabricius, the curator of the roads and a member of the gens Fabricia of Rome, it remains completely intact from Roman antiquity and has been in continuous use ever since.

• Ponte Cestio - The Pons Cestius (Latin for the “Cestian Bridge”; Italian: Ponte Cestio) is an ancient Roman bridge connecting the Tiber’s right bank with Tiber Island’s west bank in Rome, Italy. In Late Antiquity, the bridge was replaced and renamed the Pons Gratiani (“Bridge of Gratian”). It is also known as Ponte San Bartolomeo (Italian for “Bridge of St Bartholomew”). No more than one-third of the present stone bridge is of ancient material, as it was entirely rebuilt and extended in the 19th century after numerous earlier restorations. The original bridge was built around the 1st century BC (sometime between 62 and 27 BC), after the Pons Fabricius, which connects the island’s other side to the river’s left bank. The identity of the Cestius referred to in the bridge’s name remains unknown. He may have been responsible for building the bridge or later restoring an existing one and may have been a member of the gens Cestia during the later Roman Republic.

• Isola Tiberina - RECOMMENDED DISEMBARKATION POINT TO REACH FABULLUS WINE CELLAR: TIBER ISLAND. Disembarking here is ideal, as it places you just 500 meters from the Fabullus Wine Cellar in Trastevere — a short and pleasant walk through one of Rome’s most charming neighborhoods. Tiber Island is the only natural island in the stretch of the Tiber River that runs through Rome. Located at a southern bend of the river, it is easily recognizable by its distinctive boat-like shape. Since ancient times, the island has been connected to both riverbanks by bridges. Due to its historical association with healing and medicine, it was once the site of the Temple of Asclepius, the Greek god of medicine. This legacy continues with the Fatebenefratelli Hospital, established in the 16th century, and the Church of San Bartolomeo all’Isola, built in the 10th century, both of which are still located on the island today.
