“Street art: decadence or urban renewal? Rome has a bias towards the second. Although spontaneously discovering street art can be fun, we’ve curated a guide which spans from the historic center to lesser known neighbourhoods, revealing some of the best pieces.”
,the local travelling surfer, says ‘’Do you love art and unconventional areas with a unique atmosphere? Then let me take you on a fantastic tour of my neighbourhood! Pigneto is a real Roman "village" with many secrets and stories that you won't find anywhere else. Did you know that the "district of the Pine Trees" has become an "open-air museum"? It's not surprising thanks to the street-art that pop up in every corner! I can show you some amazing artwork.
Pigneto is also a place loved by movie directors of all the times. I can tell you all about the famous movies that were shot here in the 50s and 60s. In the 70s this area turned into an area of damned underworld stories and even more graffiti that you can still marvel at today.
This lively 24-hour neighborhood has something for everyone! During the day Pigneto looks like a lively open-air market with seasonal delicacies. During the evening, Roman nightlife bustles with life. There are plenty of bars where you can taste delicious food, drink cocktails, listen to live jazz, rock, etc.’’
,the local travelling surfer, says ‘’Join me on this off the beaten track tour of Rome’s hip and happening Testaccio and Ostiense neighbourhood. I'll show you how historic and modern Rome come together. Then we’ll relax and take in the cool vibes of the local’s favorite entertainment and arty areas. You’ll discover a side to the Eternal City that you wouldn’t otherwise see.
Rome’s Testaccio area is seriously reinventing itself, and we are going to experience the best of it. Get your history fix at the Pyramid of Cestius and visit an ancient harbor used by the Romans two thousand years ago. Plus I’ll give you the low-down on the origin of this area. We will stop by one of the cool coffee bars and taste some delicious Italian coffee. Bellissimo!
Let’s finish by getting our creative juices flowing. The Ostiense area is famed for street art. Italian and international artists have worked their magic on the walls, metro stations and old buildings of this gritty neighbourhood. This area is definitely not to be missed.’’
