“Gladiator Training” Tour in Rome
BOOK A VACATION TO ROME!
We DO recommend you put a visit to Rome on your bucket list!
If only to visit the Pinocchio shop in Rome in person, and follow it up with a visit to an Italian cafe to drink a decadent thick Italian hot chocolate, a reward for the restraint you showed at the shop counter perhaps?
But Pinocchio aside, there are SO MANY fun things to do in Rome with kids, AND for adults too.
It’s the number one place in the world to immerse yourself in the artefacts of Roman culture.
Who doesn’t want to visit the Colosseum and Roman Forum, and walk in the footsteps of the Roman Gladiators who fought in battle in front of crowds of up to 70,000 Roman citizens?
(Did you know you can be a Gladiator for a Day in Rome too? Take a look at this tour we did!)
I know you want to!

Just returned from Rome, but unfortunately I didn't know about this shop. It looks amazing and I love Pinocchio even more now that I know he's from Italy. Been trying to use the online shop to purchase several Pinocchios, however I can't find out how to purchase online. Help please. I located the online catalog, the Pinocchio thpurchase. but that's the extent of the purchase.
