The lockdown didn’t allow us to do many things anymore and now the stop is global. For this reason many museums all over the world invented a new way to allow to the people to live the experience to visit them even from remote. But that’s not all, even Google Maps allows to do virtual tours around the imaginary streets of Diagon Alley or for the ancient ones of the Colosseum.

A tour in the heart of the capital

Let’s start from the beautiful country, if someone never been yet to the Colosseum he can do it in this period of quarantine.
