Sorry for the wait on this one, had a few logistical issues but I’m glad it’s finally out! The rest of the videos from the Italy series will be coming out much more consistently and a lot quicker. Cheers!

That's probably the quietest the Colosseum has been in 2000 years.

How beautiful Rome is now during this awful time... it's as if she is resting. Thank you for sharing these beautiful moments... Be safe & happy travels!!!

Most beautiful city in the world, along with Florence.

Roma, splendida città 😍! Italia, meravigliosa nazione❤!

I have just flown back home to the UK yesterday from Rome I also visited Florence, San Marino, Pisa, Cinque Terre & Lucca while in Italy the best trip I have ever been on keep living the dream Jason

im italian, welcome in Rome, my city! you can spend your life visiting Rome, dig a hole find a monument haha there is a custom in the trevi fountain, Throw three coins into the Trevi Fountain: the first is for the guaranteed return to Rome; the second is to meet the love of your life; the third coin is to fulfill the desire to get married.

I am Italian and I come from North Italy so far from the amazing Rome. I went there 20 years ago and I felt in love with this city. You can breath history in every streets. Thanks for coming in my country in this bad period. A strong hug.

Nice video, reminds me of my youth in Rome, when there were no tourists, Colosseo was free to enter and we could even play football using one of its arches as a soccer goal...

Beautiful golden hour footage of Rome and a very informative vlog! Thanks for showing us what Rome looks like at the moment and for telling us about the history behind the sights. I was obviously expecting it, but it is still incredible to see just how quiet and empty many of Rome's streets and sights still are compared to normal times. And don't feel rushed to upload your vlogs - their quality is worth the wait :)

Another excellent presentation of your travels, this time in spectacular Rome, and how it looked when I was there in 1973 and 1980 with less tourists. The mood music accompanying your video is a great choice also. Well done again. I hope one day you will get a chance to go to Istanbul to offer your presentation of that amazing iconic and historical city.

You're in my favourite country still enjoying it when you should be hunkered down at home. You're a madlad! Stay safe

I love Rome. It is a wonderful city to visit with all its rich history. I can't wait to visit again. Thanks for taking me back to what I enjoyed. Love your informative videos!

I has been in Rome last year. I fell in love with the city, it has an amazing combination of beauty, history and culture. Also i have some italian family members living there. Must to admit that i cried a little bit during the video, so nostagic... Thank you Jason PD: You hope that you went to Trastevere after the Vatican, one of the best locations in Rome

I’m so moved by this video. I’m frankly surprised by my emotion watching you go through the city. It’s so extraordinary.

Loving this. Bringing back memories from my travels. Thanks from USA 🇺🇸

I'm so glad you're back with another video. You never disappoint. Everytime I watch your video, I feel like I'm watching Discovery or History Channel. I love you!.

Fantastic. Watching from New Zealand. Went to rome a few years back, incredible place. About 20 times the tourists when we went however. Great Video

Hi Jason this video is beautiful.I have never been to Italy before.But its amazing to see all magnificent buildings without huge crowds.I can feel them.Its simply beautiful.

TASTEFUL!!! We loved the music, the commentary and your camera work...thank you for bringing back wonderful memories 🤗

I'm so proud of the beauty of my country

It’s incredible to see Rome this empty but at the same time beautiful and relaxing without the noise. Oh I miss Rome! Thank you ❤️

For me, the best travelogue, so far....informative and educational. Thanks for bringing us to different places. Good to see Rome with a few people.... Enjoy your trips and keep safe!

I love italy....miss this place a lot....

Amazing video! I love Rome! The most beautiful oldest city preserved in the world!

NO PLACE LIKE ROME ON EARTH,!!!!

Excellent work Jason , impressive videos and really touched me seeing my native Rome not having been able to go back since Christmas to visit family... it brought a tear to my eye

Absolutely Beautiful! Thank you for taking us with you. Stay Safe. Love from Ireland. ☘💚🙏.

Wonderful job on this tour of Rome, it brings back wonderful memories of my times in that historic city. Keep up the good work Jason.🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦

We love this beautiful city of Rome!🤩

I really enjoyed your travel blog. Thanks for taking us with you on your journey across Italy. Beautiful pictures and interesting storytelling. Thank you!

This is the dream! I'm currently editing my Rome vlog from last year and by watching this, I can't help but compare how peaceful thus ancient city is without the crowds.

The splendour, once again, is truly stunning.

Excellent footage of Rome. It's great that you spelled out the names of places you filmed for all to see for themselves. Thank you for travelling during this difficult time, please stay safe & healthy.

Out most favourite and special place- beloved Rome! Cannot wait to go back.

Loved the calm and quiet but circumstances are unfortunate. I liked how you gave time to absorb the places, of course, the less hustle helped but liked your style of filming and explaining the details. Thank you!

So lucky Jason ♥️ I need to come back to Italy.. Miss Rome, Venice, Florence.. Cinque Terre.. 🇮🇹

Beautiful video, it brought back great memories. I miss Rome. ❤️

Fantastic panoramic views. Clear presentation. Rome certainly cannot leave you indifferent.

This video brings back great memories- Trevi Fountain is my favorite spot

bring me back so much good memory in rome this january,can't wait to go back again!

For me Rome is the most Magic city in the world

Thank you for this incredible images of my city, is usually so crowded that is impossible to wonder around the way you did or simply take it all in and hear the birds, really beautiful sights, hope you have enjoyed it too..

I haven’t been back to Rome in 10 years 😊 Looks great! Thanks for sharing Jason!

Rome is wonderful ,but all the Roman empire'history is incredibly enchanting..... good job man😊 hug from Turin

Got chills watching you walk through the forum. I really want to go back now.

Bravissimo caro, MOLTO BENE!

Thank you - wonderful camera work - relaxing with plenty of time to observe and great to hear the natural sounds too.

The most beautiful city in the world 🥰

I never saw the attraction for the Forum, even when I was there decades ago. However; seeing the entire Forum with the Coliseum at one end and all the various remains of buildings from the over-head vantage point of the outlook from Palatine Hill, well suddenly it all makes sense! Thank you.

You have a keen eye for capturing interesting shots of both historic and every-day life. Lighting and shadows are impressive, you're doing Italy the justice it deserves. Thanks.

Thank you for restimulating that experience, I once had and now remember of my May in Rome.

Visiting Rome without pilgrims, after Quarantena (1348, colourised)

Enjoyable tour of Rome. Thank you for the advice on current conditions. Jason you bring a good perspective your traveling.

I've really been enjoying your videos, very informative while at the same time visually intriguing!

So envious of you visiting Rome at this time when there are far fewer tourists. Rome is a beautiful and historic city and I enjoyed your commentary. I look forward to when I can travel back to Italy from Australia again.

The visual tour of Rome are really nice and educational. Well done.

No wonder Rome wasn’t built in a day…

Thanks for sharing and educating us while your travelling. 🙏🇿🇦❤️

What lovely filming is in this video, especially the Roman forum at dusk. Magnificent. And the commentary, whether from Jason Billam, King George, Amy Walter, or even "Johnny Cashmere", is just right. Nicely done, a real piece of art in itself. (Using the technique of green screen, perhaps? I could be wrong, that's just a guess.) I first visited Rome with my dad in the summer of 1969, as a little kid. I spoke no Italian, refused to eat anything with tomatoes or cheese in it, and since I was traveling with only my dad, who didn't know how to comb a little girl's hair, the Italians must have thought I was a very strange and tousled American child. I had a great time, though. I was way too young ever to look in a mirror, and I subsisted just fine on pastina im brodo and baked chicken dinners. I remember visiting the Piazza Navona, seeing the Boromini church and the Bernini statue that summer when I was six. There was a little crowd that had formed around a street entertainer, a muscley roustabout who was about to lift a heavy rock into the air with his bare hands. He took a lot of time strutting around, ostentatiosly donning his wrist guards in preparation for the lift, and collecting donations from the crowd. The scene was like something out of a movie. Then my Dad bought me a giant helium balloon from a vendor with a cart there in the Piazza. The balloon was blue, a four-foot-long wavy squiggle that was bigger than I was. Back at the hotel that evening, after the helium had all leaked out, we saved the empty blue remnant as our souvenir of the day. The next time I visited Rome with my dad, I was fifteen. I kept a travel diary that summer, that is really funny to read now. It described all the places we went as tourists, as we made our way north to our destination at an early music festival in a tiny town in the Appenines. My dad had already introduced me to the Italian language by that time. Though we are not ethnically Italian, my dad is a devotee of Italian art and music. After the earlier trip we had taken to Italy together in the summer of 1969, my Dad had spent the rest of the summer at home in America making me learn Italian, using mainly I A Richards' Italian Through Pictures and various children's books. This meant that I had already had some foundation in the language when we returned to Rome some nine summers later. On that second trip, I was encouraged by my dad to make a proper study of the Italian language. By then, I was fifteen years old, and had started learning Latin at school. The Italian verb conjugations made good sense in the Italian grammar book he bought me and had me study from that summer. We toured for two weeks before settling down to attend the summer music school that was the purpose of our trip. At that time, in 1978, you did not need to buy tickets in advance to visit the Roman forum and the Palatine hill. We did buy a guide book to the forum from the museum shop there. My dear dad went with me, step by step and stone by stone, through the entire Roman forum, as I took us from paving stone to column to statue, reading out loud to my dad, all about each and every historical item from the comprehensive and detailed guide book. After exhausting that source of historical information, we went for a long ramble on the Palatine hill, snacking on a picnic we had brought with us. At one point near the Palatine, we walked through a tunnel-like passage outdoors between two tall walls, along a path that sloped upward. At the end of the passage, you could see only the sky, no buildings or people. The traffic sounds of modern Rome were too far away to be heard. As we made our way along this outdoor passage, I couldn't help wondering what century we would find ourselves in when we emerged.

Great film and very well made. Thanks so much for this tour through Rome. Take care and see you soon again. 👍🙂🇮🇹

Ciao, ho visto il tuo video e da Italiano che vive a Roma posso dirti che è stato bello vederlo. Ottimo lavoro! Good job ! Grazie , Tkanks

Lovely video! Thanks very much for sharing 🌞

Brilliant -- life slowly coming back into the city centre...

Thanks Jason! I have never seen Rome so empty... but still so beautiful!

Breathtaking, thanks for sharing.

Hi Jason Just landed in Rome yesterday and seeing how quiet the capital is, never to see like this again in my lifetime.. Having the whole of August to travel Italy we’re heading to Naples then onto Sicily before heading back up the east coast to Venice or Verona.. Safe travels

Thank you Jason for introducing us to this city. I am astonished I've never heard of it. It has a lot of potential and the locals seem nice. But that's what I love about Europe, it's full of hidden gems like this. One must go there before tourists discover it and ruin it like other places. Although, many will feel like packing up instantly and going there after watching your video, haha.

This was great! I really enjoyed it and I can’t wait to go back to Rome. Excellent music!

What a great blog! So informative. Big Thank you. x

I want to go to Italy so bad. It’s part of my heritage. I’ve been in Great Britain I hope 1 day I will go it looks Magical

I was in Italy during the Holy Week in 2017. I was in Rome the day before Easter Sunday. The entire city was packed that day. The Trevi Fountain was so packed. And a guy managed to propose to his girlfriend there. Where you stood to the right of the fountain, I sat briefly and tossed a coin into the fountain. Thanks for sharing.

Going there this weekend. I know it's not going to be this quiet. But I'm glad it's not as busy as normal. Can't wait. Good vlog!

I love the music. Awesome video. Thank you.

I think the music is great Jason....it adds to the ambience of your lovely video upload. Thank you I enjoyed it very much. X

Beautiful t5hanks Jason, its always a pleasure watching your journeys.

Great coverage and so professional presentations video. I never knew that there was a Roman Forum as you covered and the colleseum so marvelous. Thanks Jason and of coarse Peace and Chow

Your Music choice is great, Jason. I visited Rome in early 2004 in winter , a day of buses on strike so we walked everywhere. Look forward to your next video . Thanks. 🇦🇺

This was so breathtaking how Beautiful sites, you do an awesome job!

Good choices of music, Jason. I was in Rome when I was 20. I was more interested in wandering around the city exploring neighborhoods than I was in visiting historical sites, though of course I visited some of the major ones. So your tour was very helpful.

Excellent! Great to live vicariously since travel here is restricted. Thank you. I cannot believe how empty Rome is.

Rome is truly captivating.😍 Everywhere you look is bursting with history and beauty. We visited the city during Spring as part of our DIY EUROTRIP video. The entire city is rich with art, sculpture and architecture. 🤩🤩🤩 Its like walking inside a huge museum. ❤️❤️❤️

Enjoyed watching your video, specially that vantage point overlooking the Roman Forum. Hope you get to visit the Church of St Praxedes. It’s in the area near Roma Termini. It has beautiful mosaic images. Looking forward to your next videos. Stay safe and enjoy !!! c”,)

Love everything about this video, and the music is wonderful it just goes perfect with the video

Hi Jason so proud of my country and the city where I come from :-)

This is an amazing video. Well done!!!

Brilliant... very informative 💕

Just wow!!!!! 💕😍😍😍

Beautiful! , but eerie to be so still. Fun things I did with my son , the Time ElevatorRoma , best overview of Rome’s history in a fun way! For all ages. Also Gladiator school: do it before going to theColosseum . Thanks for sharing

Wow. Is beter with this calm , unic occasion
