Trastevere still preserve a “special taste”, the one of time passing by…a walk here is a walk crossing Middle Age and modern Rome.
This is a neighborhood where, not long ago, people were knowing each other, talking from window to window as well as Trastevere is still the setting of the most popular religious celebration of Rome in the summer.
This is the place of the simple, communal life of the inhabitants of a roman quarter. Nowadays its character is partially changed, being also one of the heart of Rome night life: famous artist and showbiz people live here, restaurants (old as well as newer ones) fill the area with a varied offering of typical roman cooking and new trend in food and beer; clubs and bars revisit the tradition of “Aperitivo” in every possible style.
The fascination of Trastevere is probably exactly this one: the mixture (also architectural) of old and new, modernity and tradition, roman and international, with an atmosphere that one might define “shabby chic”.
Following the path of culinary tradition with our food-tour is here very easy: bread (still prepared according to the XX cen. method), salumi, sweets based on old receipes the roots of which go back to the ancient tradition.
A walking tour filled with discoveries: food, squares, churches of one of the most popular neighborhood of Rome.
