Neighbourhood and local traditions
A walk that looks at Rome through a neighbourhood with a strong identity, where everyday life and food culture meet.
Tours from €100 per group
Testaccio developed around activities connected with the river, transport and supplying the city. Monte Testaccio, formed from fragments of amphorae, preserves an unusual trace of ancient trade and offers a starting point for a story about Rome’s food.
The neighbourhood market tells stories about shopping, ingredients and habits passed from one generation to the next. A walk can put products, recipes and the role of food in Roman identity into context.
Testaccio shows a lived-in Rome, not only a monumental one. Its streets, buildings and community spaces can reveal social changes in the neighbourhood and its connection with the contemporary city.
