Home description
The apartment is located in a quiet little street, very close to S.Callisto Square, 50 meters from S.Maria Tratevere Church, one of the more important in Rome and one of the oldest in the world.It’s perfect for 2 or 4 people and is located in a building, built in 1898. Restructured keeping in mind the original characteristics, with the wonderful arch built with old bricks and the typical floor with “cementine hexagonal”. We have added new material as resin, use to model the functional bathroom and iron to mould the kitchen area.
Amongst Romans this area is considered to be "the most roman of Rome" by its origin and by the nature of its inhabitants. This nature expresses itself in the monuments, in the town planning, in the traditions of the inhabitants. It remained to be authentic and preserves better the aspects of the Roman epoch, especially of Papal Rome.

The Lazio region
Latium, or Italian Lazio, is an area of central Italy populated of approximately 5 million inhabitants, and has like Rome capital. It is delimited by Tuscany, Ombrie, the Abruzzi, Molise, Campania and the Tyrrhenian Sea. Latium is drained by the Tiber in north and Garigliano in the south, it includes/understands three areas geographical. In the east, Apennin abruzzais (mounts Sabins, Ernici and of Meta, exceeding all 2 000 m) dominates the valleys of the Sabine who is the area of north, and of Ciociaria which is that of the south. In the centre, a zone of hills lengthens north in the south in the form of volcanic reliefs (mounts Albain, Cimini, Volsini), rising above the lakes (Bracciano, Bolsena), or the solid masses limestones (Lepini mount). In the west, the valley of the Tiber and the Roman countryside announce the littoral, sandy and marshy plain (partly drained in the Pontins marshes).
Rome / Central Rome area
Santa Maria in Trastevere is situated in the bottom of its beautiful homonymous square, in the centre and in the heart of this populated quarter. Its construction was begun by the pope San Callisto I (217-222) and accomplished by the pope San Giulio I (337-352) then it was rebuilt by the pope Innocent II, Gregorio Papareschi (1130-1143). Afterwards the pope Clement XI (1702) and the pope Pious IX (1870) had intervented without undergoing substantial alterations. According to the tradition the same day when Jesus was born in Bethlehem "a source of oil" gushed in the square that announced the Messiah and in this magic point, still indicated by a little round stone near the altar the church was realized which was also called Santa Maria Fons Olei. In the centre of the square there is a fountain which existed from Augustus time. In 1500 Bramante rebuilt it and moved it to the front of the church but Bernini in 1660 remade it putting back to its place where it stands now. The renaissance scenographic aspect of the fountain is in contrast with the ensemble of the quarter which glamour is in the "poor" architecture of its houses and the labyrinth of the plebeian streets which surround the square.
The district preserves a clear Roman taste in the labyrinth of small streets, where in the pile of agglomerated old and modest houses one can notice the particular corners, houses and medieval towers, the XIVth century cloister and a breathtaking view the same as of the Gianicolo. For to provide a better link with the the Vatican, Bramante designed the Via della Lungara for the pope Giulio II, but only Rome in the epoch of a capital assailed the quiet compactness of the building with the Viale Trastevere and the Lungotevere. Besides many churches in the quarter reconstructed mostly in the baroque period which often adds a lively touch to the town picture, many characteristic restaurants and open taverns, the famous hosteries where it is possible to taste authentic romanesque dishes and to relive especially in summer the atmosphere of old pleasant and proud Rome. In the month of July the popular holiday Festa de' Noantri, takes place here for several days. So inhabitants of the quarter with music, songs, shows and fireworks participate in the holiday while the fine tables are laid in the open air.
