A late-afternoon sun slides down the brick facades of Rome as a compact golf cart hums to life, carrying a small group past olive trees along the Appian Way toward the shadowed mouths of the catacombs. The city breathes history here: cobbled streets give way to the quieter avenues where underground galleries wait, their stone coolness daring you to step inside.
