You step out of the shadow of ancient stones into a lane where the Tiber murmurs like a local, daring you to take another turn. The tour begins at Largo di Torre Argentina — the ruined theatre squares and cats that claim them feel almost theatrical — then threads through Piazza Mattei to the Fontana delle Tartarughe, whose marble seems to hold the city’s long conversations.
