Cultural Tours

The Italian Cultural Centre, It Club, intends to promote the cultural wealth of the Eternal City, concentrating particularly on art and history, which have always attracted visitors from all over the world.

In response to those who would like to get to know this cultural wealth in more detail, It Club has created new cultural itineraries, whose difference lies in the fact that there is a presentation of the chosen subject beforehand at It Club in Palazzo Doria Pamphilj.

The programme is divided into two parts:

  1. Presentation of the subject in our conference room, using photographs, images and computerised maps, film extracts, quotations and references to literary works and anecdotes, which all add to the reconstruction of what Rome and its monuments were originally like. (Duration: about 1 hour) In this way, the participants can follow the explanations in a quiet place, without straining to hear above the noise of the traffic, as they would in a normal guided tour.
  2. The second part of the programme consists of visits to different places of interest, all easily reached by foot from our centre in the heart of Rome. (Duration: 2 to 2.5 hours).

The presentation is given by experts in history of art and archaeology, who also accompany the participants to visit the works of art and monuments under discussion.
