This private tour of Rome in golf cart then gets you to the Capitoline Hill, where you will be met by your guide and visit with them the Capitoline Museums. Mainly dedicated to the art and history of ancient Rome, especially Roman sculpture, the Capitoline Museums was established in 1471 by Pope Sixtus IV, who donated to the people of Rome a collection of ancient bronzes from the Lateran.
It became open to the public in 1734, and this makes it the earliest museum in the world accessible to all citizens. The collection include – among others – iconic works such as the Equestrian Statue of Marcus Aurelius, the Capitoline Wolf (5th Century B.C.) and the Dying Gaul.
