TE Talks! History, Travel, and All Things Italian
Longing to go to Italy? Listen in and we will take you there with stories, from professional guides, of wonderful places that will make your imagination come alive. As a traveler, I always felt that there was something missing when I would go on walking tours to see special sites and monuments. I wanted fire works!Remember in your life when you had that exceptional teacher, that you never forgot, because they made it fun to learn? That’s what I wanted and I went out in search of those people to built my company on that very premise!Now, we have been taking people around all parts of Italy for over 20 years. We started in Rome (where I am a licensed guide) and have expanded to Pompeii, the Amalfi Coast, Florence, and Venice. Something that makes Through Eternity Tours special is that the staff and guides, who work with us, are exceptional. We have built very strong bonds together and we are all a great support network for each other. So many times I thought to myself that during these enthusiastic conversations that we have, wouldn’t it be great to share this with other people? That is why we have created TE Talks to keep the stories going to keep your dreams of Italy alive.

Episode 5
Dig in for part two of Episode 5 of our TE Talks podcast with Dr. Robert Huber and the Renaissance in Rome. We start where we left off describing what Rome the city looked like in the mid 1400’s but then the conversation goes a bit off track and becomes truly delicious. We learn why Rome was known as the “Citta delle Donne” and how prostitution was thriving in this city. We learn about Benvenuto Cellini”s midnight adventure in the Colosseum and how a mistress of a pope became a true entrepreneur and one of the most powerful women in the city.
