Description
Dear children, you are now invited to a very special journey, similar to an exploration. You will have to, in-fact, prepare to go down into the basement of the city of Rome. There, under the surface of the city, the sounds of cars, the contemporary life that continues to unfold, hides another network of streets and a very special series of rooms and rooms. We could say that it is a kind of city of the living dead. To understand all this, we must start from a somewhat enigmatic word: “catacomb”.
