Live stream event from Rome
Hosted by Alba S.:
When you think of Rome, your mind probably goes straight to ancient ruins and Renaissance masterpieces—but the Eternal City has stories that swing to a very different beat. Step into the vibrant world of early 20th-century Rome, where jazz music and swing dancing first made their stylish entrance. This special online tour uncovers a lesser-known side of the city, filled with syncopated rhythms, elegant dance halls, and a bold appetite for modern life. We’ll journey (virtually) through the Via Veneto and Sallustiano neighborhoods, once the heart of Rome’s nightlife, and enter the stunning Boncompagni Ludovisi Museum of Fashion and Design—a villa that feels like a true time capsule from the 1920s. Inside, we’ll discover an original dance floor from the era and admire dazzling Charleston outfits worn by Rome’s first flappers and jazz-age icons. Along the way, we’ll listen to real jazz and swing tracks, and explore how this new sound arrived in Italy, comparing Rome’s roaring twenties to the rise of jazz in the United States. What did it mean to dance, to dress, to dream differently in the shadows of Mussolini’s regime? Led with energy and insight, this tour blends music, history, and fashion in an unforgettable celebration of style and sound. Whether you’re a lover of dance, design, or hidden corners of history, you’ll find yourself smiling and swaying to the rhythm.

Ciao! I'm Alba, a Roman archaeologist and licensed tour guide. Even though I'm Italian through and through, I've spent quite a bit of time living on the East Coast of the US and in England. After snagging a BA in Conservation of Cultural Heritage and not one, but two MAs in Archaeology and History of Architecture, I went all out and got my Ph.D. in Archaeology back in 2015. But you know what? I quickly realized that I'm more into storytelling than hardcore research. So, I ditched the academic life and dove headfirst into guiding tours and educating folks in museums all across central Italy. I'm all about uncovering the hidden gems of Rome and the surrounding areas in Lazio. Sure, the Colosseum and Trevi Fountain are cool, but there's so much more to see! So, join me for some passionate dives into the Great Beauty of Rome. Let's explore its fascinating history and art scene together!
