Rome Inside Out is back! This time we’re going to Marta’s part of the city: Tiburtina! The name comes from the ancient Roman road that once led from the capital city all the way to the Adriatic Sea. Today it’s a dense residential area with one of the biggest train station in Italy: Stazione Tiburtina. We explore the station, the shiny new constructions around it, Marta’s medieval horse racing traditions and the possibilities for Roma’s new stadium in the neighbourhood 🧐Music: Violet – Horse; Two Man Sound - Disco Samba; Moscova - Roma TiburtinaFollow Rome Inside Out on Instagram @roma_insideout – For even more facts, pictures and curiosities about each episode - And to chat directly with the hosts Erik and Marta.Finally, the city of Rome's own podcast Roma Oltre le Mura has got an English sibling: Rome Inside Out.  Roma Oltre le Mura is a CapraBalodis production.

Spring is in the air, Erik has become a real (pale) Italian and Marta reveals the real reason for coming to Rome soon…Rome is one of the European capital cities with the most green area in proportion to the city’s total surface. And oh, do romans know how to use them!Marta tells us about the “villas”, the historic countryside homes that became our public parks: Villa Borghese, Villa Ada, Villa Doria Pamphilij and many more, while Erik goes to Parco Degli Acquedotti to celebrate April 25th and the Liberation day.

Ancient & modern, fascist & fashion, beans & whine, asexual & Anita Ekberg –This episode is everything that Rome stands for: contradictions & surprises.This time we'll take you out to EUR and the second Colosseum of Rome. Yes, it's true, there are two Colosseums, one circular and one square shaped – to keep them apart. We'll focus on the square shaped Colosseum, that was constructed by the fascists in the end of the 1930's to host part of the 1942 World Fair of Rome. Why a world fair? Why so many arches? Why was Anita Ekberg 30 meters tall in a Fellini film? All these questions will have their answers (and many more will arise). Erik also presents for you the spring combination of broad beans and cheese, and Marta talks about canoe sports in the fake lake of EUR.

And finally we are on air in English!* Welcome to Rome Inside Out! We start this adventure with a trip to Pigneto, a bubbling neighborhood just outside the historical center of the Italian capital. Our hosts, Erik and Marta, take you for a little walk-around, stopping by the monstrous (or beautiful?) urban highway “tangenziale”, a 2000-year-old mausoleum and the picturesque bar Necci. We’ll hear about cutting grass with a sickle, where to keep the wine bottles and where to have you romantic date if you want to get married.
