Rome Inside Out

Rome Inside Out is back! This time we’re going to Marta’s part of the city: Tiburtina!

The name comes from the ancient Roman road that once led from the capital city all the way to the Adriatic Sea. Today it’s a dense residential area with one of the biggest train station in Italy: Stazione Tiburtina.

We explore the station, the shiny new constructions around it, Marta’s medieval horse racing traditions and the possibilities for Roma’s new stadium in the neighbourhood 🧐

Music: Violet – Horse; Two Man Sound - Disco Samba; Moscova - Roma Tiburtina

Summertime in Rome! What to do, where to go and should we stay? Marta and Eric don’t really agree here. But in terms of Caracalla the go united – take us back to the good ol’ Roman days pls!

Hygiene routines from Ancient Rome and Opera inside the ruins - welcome to Caracalla!

The baths of Caracalla were one of biggest and most decorated constructions of the Ancient Rome. We’re telling the story from pools, bathtubs, old toothpastes, all the way to our days and the out-door opera productions in the middle of the old baths.

We also meet Federico Ruiz, dancer, and choreographer, who shares with us his amazing experiences of dancing on the unique Caracalla stage in operas as The Barber of Seville and La Traviata, through old columns, orchestra strikes and seagull poop

Music: J-AX & Fedez - Italiana; Modigliani– Nuotare; La traviata, Act II: Dammi tu forza, o cielo!;  Il Trovatore, Act II, Scene 1

High and low – from soccer to opera, from spiders to frogs to artistic celebrations and Nutella with ham... Don’t miss this!  

Quartiere Coppedè is one of the hidden marvels of Rome, in the middle of a posh residential district you'll find this little fairy-tale village: architecture that takes inspiration from all possible époque’s and styles, sculptures, animals, details – and a chandelier in the middle of the street!

Marta explains where the names come from, we learn who the architect Gino Coppedè was, and why Coppedè is a beautiful place, but maybe not the ideal place for a first date!

Music: Sia - Chandelier; La Rappresentante di lista – Ciao ciao. Film tips: Inferno – Dario Argento

Spring is in the air, Erik has become a real (pale) Italian and Marta reveals the real reason for coming to Rome soon…

Rome is one of the European capital cities with the most green area in proportion to the city’s total surface. And oh, do romans know how to use them!

Marta tells us about the “villas”, the historic countryside homes that became our public parks: Villa Borghese, Villa Ada, Villa Doria Pamphilij and many more, while Erik goes to Parco Degli Acquedotti to celebrate April 25th and the Liberation day. Why the aqueducts? Why picnic?

And how much do you have to pay to get yourself your own piece of Villa Ludovisi?

Music: Ace of Base – Life is a flower; Milva – Bella Ciao!; Dean Martin – On an evening in Roma (Sott’er celo de Roma)

Ancient & modern, fascist & fashion, beans & whine, asexual & Anita Ekberg –This episode is everything that Rome stands for: contradictions & surprises.

This time we'll take you out to EUR and the second Colosseum of Rome. Yes, it's true, there are two Colosseums, one circular and one square shaped – to keep them apart. We'll focus on the square shaped Colosseum, that was constructed by the fascists in the end of the 1930's to host part of the 1942 World Fair of Rome. 

Why a world fair? Why so many arches? Why was Anita Ekberg 30 meters tall in a Fellini film? All these questions will have their answers (and many more will arise). 

Erik also presents for you the spring combination of broad beans and cheese, and Marta talks about canoe sports in the fake lake of EUR. And what do young Italians really do in their cars?

Music: Elodie – Bagno a mezzanotte, Nino Rota – Bevete più latte! , Lizzy Mercier Descloux – Milk Sheik 

Film tips: Le tentazioni di dottor Antonio – Federico Fellin from Boccaccio '70
