You roll away from a narrow piazza into the slow pulse of Rome, a compact city that hands you layers of history through open windows. In a quiet electric golf cart you pass ochre palazzos and clipped plane trees, the driver steering past scooters and the occasional horse-drawn carriage as bell towers punctuate the skyline. The tour threads together Santa Maria Maggiore, St. John Lateran, St. Paul Outside the Walls and finishes at St. Peter’s — four papal basilicas that map the spiritual spine of the city.
