Who we are
Città Nascosta (Hidden Town) was found in 1990 by Marco Bartolucci,
Sabina and Ludovico Pratesi with the purpose to promote the sites
of interest which were hidden in the urban fabric and in the scenery
of the city, discovered and guided by art historians and archaeologists.
In a periodical brochure the association distributes its programs and
proposes tours through the city, meetings in literary cafes and
events on terraces of roman palaces as well as excursions in the
Lazio region and in the centre of Italy. All activities of Città
Nascosta are accompanied by archaeologists and art historians who
will be able to explain the history, the literary events and curious
and important anecdotes.
Città Nascosta also offers the possibility to organize, in several
languages, exclusive thematic visits for groups with a special
interest in a specific subject.
The itineraries offered lead the visitors through the history of the
city from the roman times to our days and are focused on the tastes
and interests of the participants.
In this optic we also organize the extraordinary opening of (often
private) villas, palaces, gardens, archaeological sites and interiors
of embassies and other historical buildings, which are normally
closed to the public.
On request we organize in these special locations a particular event
which relates or is adapted to the place.
Citta Nascosta also organizes art trips and weekends in Italy and
abroad. To make sure we keep offering an unforgettable trip our
collaborators survey the sites beforehand to secure the quality of
restaurants and hotels and prepare specific itineraries.
