Around the Portico d’Ottavia, traces remain of a distinctive urban and community history. Ancient remains, neighbourhood streets, and buildings from different periods tell the story of Rome’s Jewish community, present in the city for centuries.
To talk about this place is to consider both the continuity of community life and the moments of exclusion, change, and resilience that shaped the neighbourhood.
Tiber Island is linked to both riverbanks by old bridges and by stories of healing, passage, and protection. Its position helps explain the river’s role in Rome’s development: the Tiber was once a route for transport and a landmark in city life.
As we approach the river, the perspective changes. Walls, bridges, and the current reveal a Rome that is less monumental but just as rich in history.
Across the river, Trastevere preserves a network of narrow streets, small piazzas, and churches that reflect different layers of the city. The neighbourhood is known for its lively atmosphere and for the connection between public space and local life.
The experience connects places through stories and conversation, offering a view of Rome as it is lived by its communities.
