Trastevere

At a place called the Albergo Torino, close to the station, he explained.

He should take the Trastevere tram at San Carlo ai Catenari, said the other.

No, better take a number one at the New Corso.

But those cars don't go to the termini, answered the little one.

Give me an example of a place that you've known of for years that you've never set foot in.

Okay, there's a place in Trastevere.

So there's this kind of main drag in Trastevere that if you live there, if you've spent time there, you know.

It's not the biggest street in the neighborhood, but it's kind of the one where everybody's just always walking up and down.

It's You looked at an apartment on that street, actually, but on the quieter side.

I am still regretting certain apartments I didn't get.

So Via della Lungheretta is this very bustling, very narrow, but very bustling street where just people are walking up and down the street constantly.

And at the corner of that street, and I want to say Piazza Belli, which is sort of where off of the tram goes, there's a big square, big for Rome, big for Trastevere.

And, like, and stay not in the middle.

Like, it's fun to be in Trastevere, it's fun to be in the center.

However, like if you want to experience a bit more of like the actual Roman lifestyle, and if you wanna get a cornetto for like 90 cents or 50 cents and not three euro, and you want to get a-

Um, and the rest...

Just kind of a brief overview of some nice things.

On the south side of town, we like to park in Trastevere on the street.

And Trastevere is a neighborhood that is... used to be, and I think still is, but definitely used to be one of the premier residential neighborhoods.

It's across the river from the Colosseum and the Vatican.

And over the years, as it got known as a residential area to visit for tourists, got picked up on by different books and articles, It became a little bit more hipster, so there's a lot of, like, bars and restaurants.

long as you're willing to walk like two or three blocks, which is no big deal.

Yeah.

So in that area in Trastevere, there's just like a million, as we said, cocktail bars, coffee bars, and gelaterie, and restaurants.

Nor is their faithfulness to be forgotten as that of the beautiful Vincenza, who after sitting like a statue for hours to a class of ladies, fell fainting from sheer fatigue, yet insisted on finishing the séance, even to a minute, though money was not an object, full compensation and cab fare being pressed upon her as inducement to go home and rest.

There is much pleasure too as one passes in hearing the buongiorno, signorina, spoken in soft tones, accompanied by words and smiles from such bells of the Trastevere, for it makes a foreigner feel more one of them, and thank a kind fate for drifting one thither, even for a short time to live among them.

Doubtless a student will do much sketching in the Borghese gardens, and the grounds of the numerous villas, or driving beyond the city gates, see pictures enough to occupy one for a lifetime, particularly on a day appointed for the hunt, when a gay group of equestrians circle about the master, whose scarlet coat makes him a mark for all eyes, and the hounds are hardly to be controlled in their eagerness for the first scent of game, while amid fashionable roam, crowding every avenue, the American sculptor and horsewoman, on her 300-guinea hunter, presses forward to participate in the exciting scene of the meet.

Or later, when the scattered parties turn homeward, riding recklessly over the treacherous ground, through the poisonous purple glow of the incomparable Campania that lights up even the distant white-capped mountains.

The idea that men could be involved with Bonadir is attested to in numerous inscriptions, including one at Ostia where Amicilius Furianus had restored a sanctuary which was visited by both men and women.

Back at Rome, Marcus Vetus Valanus was a similar beneficiary to a space found in Trastevere.

A consul by the same name was in place in AD 66, so perhaps that was him.

What involvement men had with Bonadir is debated.

history, right?

Trastevere streets and,

yeah, like, she's all about the history.

She likes old shit.
