Who We Are

ArcheoRoma is an editorial and informational project focused on the city of Rome, with particular emphasis on its historical, archaeological, artistic, and cultural heritage. The project encompasses various domains and subdomains (for example, archeoroma.it, archeoroma.org, archeoroma.de, archeoroma.fr, archeoroma.es, etc.), offering content related to monuments, itineraries, temporary exhibitions, events, and other topics of tourist and cultural interest.

The management and updating of texts, images, and multimedia resources are overseen by:

Through the “ArcheoRoma” brand, the company aims to make information about the city of Rome more accessible, enabling Users to gain insight into archaeological sites, guided tours, cultural initiatives, and other experiences connected to the area.

The editorial teams working on the ArcheoRoma project rely on qualified sources to produce the content, striving to ensure it is consistently presented and available in multiple languages, for the benefit of an international audience interested in discovering Rome.

For information regarding potential collaborations or content proposals, please refer to the Contacts section of each domain under the ArcheoRoma project.

Services for the User

Across the various domains and subdomains of the ArcheoRoma project, we provide Users with a range of information and features designed to facilitate visiting and exploring the city of Rome. The Sites host editorial content (articles, in-depth features, travel guides, tips) and offer links and references to third-party services, selected for their relevance and quality.

The editorial team strives to maintain an overview that is as broad and up-to-date as possible regarding visit opportunities, cultural routes, and additional services, allowing the User to find, in a single online space, the main solutions for organizing their stay or exploring the Capital in the best possible way.

The following paragraphs outline the main service categories featured on the Sites, along with a brief description of how they work and how the User can take advantage of them.

Tickets and Tours

The ArcheoRoma Sites provide information and descriptions of tours, guided experiences, and entry tickets to museums, monuments, temporary exhibitions, or special events. Should the User decide to purchase any such offer, it will be managed by third-party providers (such as specialized platforms or authorized agencies) whose links and contact details are indicated in the offer’s information section.

In this section, the User can find a detailed description of each tour or ticket (for instance, itinerary, duration, price, any discounts, practical information) and, if desired, proceed with the purchase through the relevant provider’s website.

Car Rental with Driver

If the User requires a personalized transfer service, the Sites provide a list of independent providers that offer car rental with driver. The User can submit a request for a quote or additional information directly to the provider by following the instructions shown on the relevant service page. The financial terms, booking methods, and service provision are entirely managed by the provider, who bears exclusive responsibility for its own offering.

Bus Rental with Driver

For groups of tourists, schools, or parties requiring higher-capacity transportation, ArcheoRoma offers a dedicated section featuring bus rental with driver providers. In this case as well, the Sites merely gather and present general contacts and information; the User can request a quote or specify logistical needs directly to the chosen provider.

Events and Exhibitions

To present a comprehensive view of Rome’s cultural offerings, ArcheoRoma also dedicates space to special events and temporary exhibitions. The User can find a brief description of the event, its dates, the organizing entity, and, where applicable, information on how to obtain tickets or book participation. As with other services, any purchase or booking is carried out exclusively via the official channels of the respective organizers or intermediaries.

Accommodation and Lodging Facilities

Within the ArcheoRoma Sites, there may be a section devoted to hotels and other recommended or affiliated lodging facilities, aimed at helping the User find the solution best suited to their stay. In some cases, affiliation programs with well-known booking portals (such as certain specialized marketplaces) may be activated, allowing the User to complete the booking procedure independently.

The contractual relationship for the provision of accommodation exists solely between the User and the facility or third-party booking site, which independently determine prices, availability, and sales conditions.

Other Types of Services

ArcheoRoma reserves the right to expand the range of services featured or described, introducing new opportunities for visitors based on user feedback and evolving trends in the tourism market. When such additional services become available, dedicated sections will be created on the Sites with relevant information and instructions on how to use them.

Content

The Sites belonging to the ArcheoRoma project provide Users with various textual, graphic, and multimedia materials (hereafter, the “Content”) intended for informational, educational, or promotional purposes concerning the city of Rome and its cultural-tourism services. This Content may include articles, reviews, historical insights, monument outlines, logistical information, event and exhibition listings, photographs, videos, or any other published materials, with the aim of facilitating the enjoyment of Rome’s artistic and archaeological heritage.

The User agrees not to copy, reproduce, distribute, modify, transmit, reuse, publish, or otherwise use the Content, in whole or in part, without prior written permission from the holder of the relevant rights. Any activity that may infringe or jeopardize the intellectual property rights of ArcheoRoma or third parties is also prohibited. Should the User receive authorization to reproduce Content (for instance, for academic or educational purposes), they must explicitly cite the source by using a suitable reference, including the Site’s URL.

If the User believes that any material published on the Sites has been posted in violation of their intellectual property rights, they are invited to report the alleged infringement via the Contacts section, providing sufficient details to precisely identify the material in question.

Accuracy of Information

ArcheoRoma constantly strives to ensure that the Content is up-to-date, accurate, and relevant to the subject matter. Nonetheless, certain information (for example, opening times, fees, event dates, ticket availability) may change for reasons beyond ArcheoRoma’s will or control.

As a result, the Content is provided solely for informational purposes and should not be considered exhaustive or guaranteed to be error-free. Users are encouraged to verify any updates or changes with official sources (such as institutional websites, ticket offices, museums, event organizers, or third-party providers) before making decisions based solely on the information found on the Sites.

Under no circumstances shall ArcheoRoma be held responsible for any direct or indirect damages resulting from errors, omissions, or the use of the published information. It is understood that all sections of the Sites, including User comments or reviews, are provided “as is” and do not imply any form of expressed or implied warranty on the part of ArcheoRoma.

Limitation of Liability

ArcheoRoma strives to provide on its Sites content and informational services about tourist attractions, cultural initiatives, and visiting opportunities in the city of Rome, acting solely as an editorial intermediary between the User and third-party providers of tours, events, tickets, lodging, or transportation services. As a result:

• No direct contractual obligation with ArcheoRoma: The User acknowledges that any purchase, booking, or contractual relationship related to tourist services (e.g., tickets, guided tours, car rental with driver, overnight stays) is formed exclusively between the User and the third-party provider offering such services, according to the commercial terms set by the provider itself. ArcheoRoma does not in any way participate in the negotiation, nor does it assume any guarantee or outcome obligations for the services offered by third parties.
• No liability for availability and pricing: Information regarding availability, rates, discounts, or promotions is provided for indicative purposes only, based on data made available by the providers. ArcheoRoma cannot be held responsible for any variations or discrepancies between the published content and the actual conditions proposed by the providers at the time of booking or purchase.
• Use of automated systems or fraud by third parties: ArcheoRoma is not liable for any illegal or fraudulent practices carried out by third parties (e.g., using bots to purchase tickets), nor for any disruptions, unavailability, or other circumstances stemming from unlawful conduct beyond its control.
• “As is” content and no implied warranty: All content and functionalities offered on the Sites, including any sections dedicated to comments or User reviews, are provided “as is.” ArcheoRoma does not guarantee the complete absence of errors, uninterrupted service, timely corrections, or that the information perfectly meets the User’s specific needs.
• Possible damages or losses suffered by the User: Except in cases of willful misconduct or gross negligence attributable to ArcheoRoma, it cannot be held liable for any direct or indirect damages, loss of opportunities, or moral or economic harm arising from the User’s use of the Sites or inability to use them; from the User’s reliance on the completeness or accuracy of published information; or from any errors, omissions, deletions, defects, or delays in the information provided.
• Operation of external links: The Sites may contain links or references to other websites operated by third parties, over which ArcheoRoma has no control and assumes no responsibility regarding their content, IT security, or privacy and cookie policies. The User must review and accept any terms and conditions specific to those third-party websites.

These limitations of liability shall apply to the extent permitted by applicable law; therefore, nothing in this section excludes or limits any liability that cannot be excluded or limited by law.

Comments

The Sites associated with the ArcheoRoma project may allow Users to post comments, reviews, opinions, or other interactive content (collectively, the “Comments”). Any User wishing to utilize this feature agrees to fully comply with the terms listed below, in addition to the general provisions set forth in this document:

1. Lawful and Non-Offensive Nature of Comments
   The User guarantees that any Comments published do not contain unlawful, defamatory, insulting, hate-inciting, pornographic, or personally degrading content; that they do not violate any third-party rights (including intellectual property rights and image rights); and that they do not include advertising messages or propaganda without prior explicit consent from ArcheoRoma.
2. Assumption of Responsibility
   Each User is solely and exclusively responsible for the information and any textual, visual, or other content included in their Comments. The User agrees to indemnify and hold ArcheoRoma harmless against any claims, complaints, or legal actions brought by third parties concerning the content published by that User.
3. Intellectual Property in Comments
   By posting a Comment, the User grants ArcheoRoma a non-exclusive, transferable, sublicensable, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, distribute, transmit, modify, create derivative works from, publicly display, and publicly perform the relevant content, without prejudice to the User’s moral right to be recognized as the author, where applicable.
4. Comment Moderation and Removal
   ArcheoRoma reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to monitor, moderate, edit, and/or remove at any time any Comments it deems not in compliance with these Terms or that it considers offensive, unlawful, inappropriate, or irrelevant to the editorial context of the Site. Such measures may be taken without notice and without the User having any claim in this regard.
5. User Identification
   If the publication of Comments requires creating an account or submitting personal data (such as name, email address, or other contact information), the User agrees to provide truthful and complete data. The User acknowledges that disclosing personal data within the Comments is done at their own sole responsibility, and that ArcheoRoma declines all responsibility for any use of such data by third parties.

The Comments expressed by Users do not necessarily reflect the opinions or positions of ArcheoRoma, which cannot be held responsible for the content therein. In any case, if a User encounters Comments that may be unlawful, offensive, or in violation of these Terms, they may report them via the Contacts section, indicating precisely the link or the area of the page where they appear.

Contacts and Support

ArcheoRoma provides Users with various channels for requesting information, clarifications, and support regarding the features offered on the Sites. At the same time, it should be noted that assistance concerning services proposed and managed by third-party providers (for example, ticket, tour, or rental bookings) must be requested directly from those providers, in accordance with the procedures they specify.

Contacts for Information about the Sites

For technical reports concerning navigation, issues with viewing content, or malfunctions in any Site feature, the User may contact the ArcheoRoma team via:

• The dedicated email address provided in the “Contacts” section of each domain associated with the project;

Any questions or requests for clarification regarding the Terms and Conditions, the Privacy Policy, or the cookie management policies may also be sent through the same channels. The support team pledges to respond as quickly as possible, subject to the technical time required to evaluate each request.

Assistance with Third-Party Services

If the User requires assistance, modifications, or refunds related to services purchased or booked through third-party providers (such as tour operators, online ticketing platforms, chauffeur rental agencies, hotel facilities, etc.), ArcheoRoma encourages them to contact the official customer service channels of those providers directly. These providers bear sole responsibility for:

• The commercial terms applied (pricing, booking methods, any discounts or packages);
• The actual availability of seats, vehicles, tickets, or rooms;
• The proper delivery of the service and any post-sale support.

It should be noted that ArcheoRoma has no authority to intervene and assumes no responsibility for any disputes that may arise between the User and the third-party provider, since the transaction or contractual relationship in question is exclusively between those parties.

Editorial Proposals and Collaborations

For any collaboration proposals, cultural event submissions, partnership requests, or editorial contributions, Users can contact ArcheoRoma using the details provided in the “Contacts” section of the Site. Each proposal will be evaluated by the editorial team in line with the project’s editorial focus and available resources.

In any case, if Users wish to receive further information about the ArcheoRoma project, how the Sites are managed, or any general aspects not covered by these Terms, they may send a message clearly stating the subject of the request, in order to facilitate the support team’s task.
