The Monti Quarter
("Monti" in Italian means Mounts)
lies just behind the Imperial Forum and
it is one of the oldest sections of the city.
The quarter owes
its name as it thus situated between several
of Rome's hills It is endowed with
beautiful churches, like St. Pietro in Vincoli,
characteristic streets and piazzas,You find
many art shops, craftsmen, cosy restaurants
and cafe'.There are many charming zones excluded
from car traffic.
Over time, the area has escaped
all attempts at city planning:
from Pope Sixtus V’s
orders to improve and beautify Rome for the
Jubilee Year 1475, to the enterprises
during the 1800’s to turn Rome into the capital.
Herein, narrow, medieval streets and
alleyways, and ancient monuments resist, painting
a picture of ancient and papal Rome,
and the s low
and sleepy ebb life in it had.
The area offers some of the
most enchanting walks to be taken in Rome.
Julius Cesar was born
here; Nero came, in disguise, to “take the pulse
of People”; Messalina came for orgies.
Until recently, this was a disreputable,
little visited a neighbourhood; today it is
home to artists and men of culture looking for
that particular Roman atmosphere that
only exists here.
The bustle of
imperial Rome, papal Rome, and
modern Rome is close at hand: from Via dei
Serpenti, both the Italian flag above the
Quirinal and the Coliseum can be
seen.
Lodged between
Via Nazionale and Via Cavour,
the Monti Quarter is a city within a
city:craftsmen who know non hours, pasta makers
producing the “best fettuccine” in the city,
wine sellers, and simple shopkeepers are amongst
the enchanting dwellers, The quarter is ideal
for the art and history connoisseurs.
