TRASTEVERE
 The
"Rione" (this is the name of Rome districts since
centuries) is the most tyical of the city, the only one
that keeps intact the atmosphere of past centuries. In
its narrow lanese, in its old squares surronded by
artistic palaces, live people full ofliveliness to be
found, specially in the evening in many small cafes and
resturants of all kinds. Here are also many outstanding
monuments such as the Church of S. Maria in Trastevere
(don't forget to ask the nuns for a visit to the famous
frescoes of Pietro Cavallini , Painted 700 years ago ),
The Church of S. ta Cecilia in Trastevere and, right
along the Tiber river, the Palace of the Farnesina,
decorated by Raffaello and many other famous painters.
Those who like to walk will appreciate an uphill stroll
to the Gianicolo including a halfway stop to look at the
Church and the smallround temple of Montorio. At the top
of the hill, next to monument of Garibaldi, is a terrace
from which a magnificent view of Rome can be
enjoyed.Those same people can also cross the Tiber from
Trastevere at "Ponte Sisto" (built by Pope Sixtus IV)
and take another picturesque walk to the Capitol, the
Temples of ancient Rome and the historic romanesque
church of S. ta Maria in Cosmedin.
