Full description
Enjoy this pleasant itinerary to discover the real Roman folklore and tradition and get ready to literally cross between centuries to know about Roman treasures from the Middle Ages and Renaissance as well.
This itinerary begins at Campo de’ Fiori, certainly one of the most characteristic squares and the statue of Giordano Bruno in the centre. Walk through the local food market and see the typical artisanal shops along its narrow streets and small squares. Every corner of this district speaks of a centuries-old history handed down until today with its tradition and its unique folklore
Next to Campo de’ Fiori we walk for just few minutes to reach the characteristic area of Jewish Ghetto. Founded in 1555, it is one of the ancient Ghettos throughout Italy and Europe. The main sign of the ghetto is without a doubt the monumental building of the Synagogue built in 1904. Behind the Synagogue runs Via del Portico d’Ottavia which owes its name to the ruins of the ancient portico built on1st century B.C. Inside part of the monument stands the church of St. Angelo in Pescheria, so called in reference to the important fish market held here from the Middle Ages up to the end of 19
th
century.
After the visit to the Jewish Ghetto, we will walk on the Ponte Fabricio and we arrive shortly at Tiberina Island. We will have a fun walk along this very characteristic island, which is mainly occupied by the hospital “Fatebenefratelli” from the 16
th
century. But the island itself offers an amazing walk even without specific monuments. The typical houses, courtyards and streets are reminiscent of its medieval origin and will surely enchant you. After this interesting stop we will proceed into one of the most famous and ancient parts of Rome, Trastevere. This area needs no introduction, it is famous for its restaurants and pubs and for the magic atmosphere, especially in the evening. The Medieval origin is undoubtedly evident everywhere but few people know that it is so rich in art, so a perfect mix awaits you for the last part of itinerary.
We will officially “enter” Trastevere through Piazza in Piscinula and Via Arco dei Tolomei, which takes its name from the medieval arch which can still be seen. Walking in Vicolo dell’Atleta we can see a pretty 13
th
century construction, with a loggia and small pointed arches on stone corbel sand with an inscription in Hebrew on the central column. It is considered the only surviving ancient Jewish synagogue in the quarter from the Middle Age. Going back to Via dei Genovesi we arrive in Piazza Sonnino, which has one of the most well known medieval constructions, the Torre degli Anguillara, better known as the “House of Dante”. Just few minutes from here, we walk to find the Basilica of St. Maria in Trastevere, one of Rome’s medieval gems. We can go inside the church and admire its apse containing the famous mosaics with the
Coronation of the Virgin
and the
Stories of the Virgin
.
The walking tour ends in Piazza Trilussa, housing the statue Carlo Alberto Salustri, or more known as Trilussa, the Romanesque most famous poet. Roman spirit can be felt throughout this itinerary, you can continue a fun and relaxing walk in the district and then stop at any of the many restaurants or pizzerias to have a typical meal.
