TO TRANSFORM
Tour description
Trastevere is the XIII district of Rome, known as the neighborhood on the other side of the Tiber, the medieval and bohemian neighborhood, the heart of " la marcha " (the party), of the Roman movida, and yes, all that and more, is Trastevere. But let's not just stay with that facade, let's go to Trastevere , walk through its streets, alleys and squares, where a secular soul is hidden, made up of nobles and unfortunates, stories of knives, bandits, heroes, mercenary captains...
To go to Trastevere is also to walk through an intricate labyrinth that has been the scene of the activities that take place near a port, commerce... Where there was an important market and the trades that always accompany it: trattorias, inns, inns, commercial activities and the less than licit ones, such as smuggling, crime and those of the "bad life".
To go to Trastevere is to walk through what was once the home of intellectuals, musicians, composers and poets who, through their art, expressed the feelings of the population, where the poetic soul was satirical, funny and irreverent, with a direct focus on social and cultural issues, reflecting without giving up entertainment.
Travelling through restaurants, bars, trattorias and inns, and remembering that 5th of November 1958, in a restaurant in Trastevere where a private party of Roman high society was held, and an improvised striptease was given, which is often symbolically timed to coincide with the beginning of la dolce vita .
