Hello, beautiful souls! Welcome to today’s episode, where we’re diving into one of my absolute favorite photo spots in Rome. Picture this: you’re surrounded by lush greenery, the hustle and bustle of the city fades away, and right in front of you stands the majestic Colosseum. Yep, I’m talking about the stunning Giardinetto del Monte Oppio—a hidden gem for all you shutterbugs out there! Now, let me take you on a little adventure. As you climb the hill, you’ll notice a crowd of enthusiastic selfie-takers trying to get that perfect shot. But here’s my golden nugget of advice: sidestep the crowds and head around the fence on the right. Trust me, this little detour leads you to a sweet, secluded spot with an unobstructed view of the Colosseum that’ll blow your mind! The contrast of ancient history against lush surroundings is a photographer’s dream and, honestly, it’s a slice of Roman heaven you’ve gotta experience. So, grab your cameras, embrace the magic, and capture some unforgettable memories. This spot isn’t just a view—it's an experience that’s totally priceless! That’s all for today! Tune in next time, and until then, keep exploring and snapping those epic shots. Ciao!

Molti si chiedono cosa fosse in origine ma in realtà era quello che sembra, ovvero un portale di accesso. Oggi infatti appare murata ma la Porta Pertusa un tempo si trovava dietro uno dei punti più alti dei Giardini Vaticani alle spalle di quella che era la Cittadella Papale (oggi Borgo) ma costituiva solo un passaggio secondario protetto da molte torri. Era stata fatta aprire da Papa Leone IV per comodità dei Pontefici e della Curia e venne chiamata Pertusa probabilmente per via del foro che vi si dovette praticare per aprirla (pertuso è ancora in uso nel dialetto napoletano). La porta poi venne chiusa ma resta una delle porte che si aprivano nelle Mura leonine e si riconoscono due accessi secondari e un portale principale, contornato da un maestoso bugnato. Oggi la trovate sulla passeggiata che costeggia la parte alta delle mura, è murata ed è adiacente a viale Vaticano in corrispondenza del torrione di San Giovanni (bellissimo, fatto restaurato da papa Giovanni XXIII). E' molto particolare e merita una sosta. Utili info? Allora lasciate un like e guardate le altre recensioni su Roma e non solo che ho fatto.

It is worth to walk around the Vatican to see how high walls this place has to protect the hierarchy of the Catholic Church. It looks like hey had a lot to worry about and hid to build such walls.
