It is the capital of two states<\/strong>, Italy and the Vatican, and houses the world\u2019s largest ancient church: St Peter\u2019s Basilica<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Living in Rome means embracing the millenary history of mankind<\/strong>, wherever you look you will find tangible evidence of it, while you are immersed in the contemporaneity of a bustling metropolis full of opportunities.<\/p>\n<\/div> <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n\n \n\n\n\n\n \n \n

\n Let’s go to the market! <\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n

\n

If you want to get drunk with real life, there is no better place than the local market<\/strong> and Rome has magnificent ones.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Trionfale Market<\/strong> is considered the first ever in size in the city (it has 273 benches) and is among the largest in Italy and Europe too<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Born in the nineteenth century, it has been moved to a popular neighborhood that has turned into an elegant area<\/strong> and this makes
\nit extremely convenient and also quite sought after.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The corridors have different colors<\/strong>: green<\/strong> for fruits and vegetables, blue<\/strong> for fish, red<\/strong> for meat, but you can find rice and cereals, fresh pasta and cheese, spices and products for ethnic cuisine.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And more: clothes, bags, shoes, games for children… in short, a colorful and fascinating multiethnic show!<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There are almost fifty markets to explore in Rome<\/strong>, the most famous?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Rionale Testaccio Market<\/strong>, New Esquilino Market<\/strong> (ex Piazza Vittorio), Trastevere Market<\/strong>, Rionale Nomentano Market<\/strong>, Pinciano Market<\/strong>, Garbatella Market<\/strong> of Via di Santa Galla, Flower and Ornamental Plants Market<\/strong>, Campo de’ Fiori Market<\/strong>, Ponte Milvio Market<\/strong>, Casilino Market<\/strong> (or Pigneto)…<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And who does not know the flea market of Porta Portese<\/strong>?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It only opens on Sundays, but it is the most famous<\/strong> of all. It was sung by Claudio Baglioni and was the protagonist of unforgettable auteur films such as “Ladri di biciclette” and “Sciusci\u00e0” by Vittorio De Sica.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Italy of the past years and the Italy of the new millennium, you can both find them here at the Porta Portese Market<\/strong>. With no doubt at all.<\/p>\n<\/div> <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n\n \n\n\n\n\n \n

\n

Every neighborhood offers opportunities for all palates<\/strong>, make a wish and find out what\u2019s in store for you!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

From the refined Bistrot<\/strong> to the Antico Forno<\/strong> with local delicacies, from the Wine Bar<\/strong> to the Osteria<\/strong> that serves strictly Roman dishes<\/strong>: the cult of food for Italians knows no limits, you should have already known that.<\/p>\n<\/div> <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n\n \n\n\n\n\n \n

\n Walking in Trastevere <\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n

\n

You can find the true Roman soul<\/strong> here, in the streets of the neighborhood you can still enjoy the atmosphere<\/strong> that in the second half of the twentieth century animated the cultural and artistic life of the city.<\/p>\n

A few steps away you can walk on the Tiber Island<\/strong> and Ponte Sisto<\/strong> (one of the oldest in Rome), and we bet you will be speechless in front of the Basilica of Santa Maria in Trastevere<\/strong>!<\/p>\n<\/div> <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n\n \n\n\n\n\n \n

\n What about an aperitif? <\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n

\n

If you want to stay a little longer in the Trastevere area you will find very inviting places: pizzas<\/strong>, omelettes<\/strong>, veggy proposals and craft beer<\/strong>… Or you can head to the Eur area<\/strong> and, after an aperitif<\/strong>, you can enjoy its wonderful park<\/strong> with artificial lake or the spectacular water choreographies of the Garden of Waterfalls.<\/p>\n<\/div> <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n\n \n\n\n\n\n \n
