Our tour of the Velabro is a journey through time that starts from around 3000 years ago to the last century, to the places and stories that marked the creation of the capital city of Italy. But where does the word "Velabro" come from and what does it mean? It is said that the valley going from the Roman Forum to the Tiber was often submerged by the river water and became, over time, a swampy area. The word 'velus', that is 'marsh' in Latin, was used, and was then changed to 'velabrum', describing the peculiarity of this area. The main characteristic of the valley is that it is considered to be the area where the brothers Romulus and Remus, founders of Ancient Rome, were found in a basket along the river. Legend has it that they were found by a she-wolf who took them in and looked after them. However, it is said that it was not an animal, but a poor courtesan woman named "Acca Larentia" who seems to have frequented the place to earn her bread and consequently found the two abandoned brothers. The guided tour starts from Truth Mouth and you will visit all the important monumets around walking into a "magic circle" so the visit will end where it began .
