The Dark Side of Rome by Bike
A tour in the Rome of the Inquisition, to find evidence of the judicial history of the city, with reference to heretics, executioners and Jewish people.
During the bike tour we will discover events in the life of "Mastro Titta", who was the official executioner for the Papal States from 1796 to 1865. He oversaw 516 sentences during his service (torture and execution were his tasks). You'll also follow the traces of the noblewoman Beatrice Cenci (sentenced to death in front of Castel Sant'Angelo in the 17th century), Giordano Bruno (heretic burnt alive at Campo de Fiori) and Donna Olimpia (a Pope's secret lover and powerful Roman noble woman).
