history

Trastevere, from the Latin "Trans Tiberim (beyond the Tiber), is the thirteenth district of Rome
At the time of the origins of Rome (753 B.C.), the area of Trastevere was a hostile land owned by Etruschi. Rome occupied it in order to monitor the river on both sides and thereby maintain absolute control of the city.
In the imperial period, many Villas were built in this area: on all the "Villa Clodia" and that of "Gaius Julius Caesar" (Horti Caesaris).
In Medieval times, the quarter was renowned for its narrow streets, twisting and irregular; a maze of paths that still makes it an amazing district, unique in all over the world.

The charm of Trastevere, today, is based on its ability to fuse ancient and modern: on the right and left side of Viale Trastevere, you can find ancient squares of incredible beauty and Christian churches and basilicas invaluable historical and religious, but also fashion bar, pictoresque restaurants and cultural centers where explode creative artistic movements. Here the sacred and profane coexists in the sign of respect and fun, and will almost never touch. Trastevere has a "magical" atmosphere that enchants those who visit for the first time, and leave incredible memories.
