Mostly Roman and Early Christian Walking Tour

First Site: Campidoglio

Mary Redekop
Mary is a well-known teacher and lecturer, who has been teaching art and art history in Canadian schools and universities since 1962. Her graduate and undergraduate studies were done at the University of Toronto. She has been guiding people through Italy, France, Russia, Uzbekistan and Turkey for over 35 years. She has developed and presented hundreds of lectures for the University of Toronto, Western University, Museum London, the McIntosh Art Gallery and Toronto Public Libraries. Her presentation style is delightful, informative, humorous and complete.

While you are relaxing at home or visiting onsite in the heat of ancient Rome, explore beautiful mosaics, the history of buildings, art techniques, materials used, and a bit about the people involved.
​
  • View the ceiling decorated with Christopher Columbus's gold.
  • Find out what it means to have a square halo.
  • Look for the pope that was tied to an anchor and thrown overboard.
  • Find the Phoenix.
  • Stand inside the only chapel in Rome that is completely covered with mosaics; all while having your own, personal, art history guide in your hand. 

It is an amazing, fun and informative tour, which presents a rich and colourful early Rome.

Mary Redekop, takes you on an enlightening art and architectural walking tour through Roman and Early Christian sites in the heart of Rome.

The photo above displays the sites you will visit on this tour.

​The content for this web-page based tour was originally developed for a walking tour app on the iOS and Android platforms.

​The app was downloaded in 44 countries starting in 2014.

The app is no longer available in the app stores, but instead has been converted to these web pages, so they will work on all devices.
  • There are no advertisements.
  • You don't need to purchase anything.
  • We just want to provide the content, for free, to anyone who wishes to view it.

We created a second walking tour called Renaissance, Mannerist and Baroque, which will be available on this site in the very near future.
