I’m running a series of online talks about all things Rome using Zoom. All talks are c. 50 minutes, followed by as many questions as anyone would like. Total time: about an hour. I’ll send the link to access the virtual room on the day of the talk. The cost is €15 per person, €65 if you pre-book 5 talks.
Private talks for as many or as few people as you like arranged on request on any Rome-related subject you like. Long distance family get-togethers, talks for children, birthday events, whatever you like and about anything you like with as many questions during and afterwards as you can think of!
