Garbatella – The hood with a truly Roman atmosphere
2020.02.28.
Built during the 1920s to host the workers of the nearby industrial district Ostiense, Garbatella used to be a social housing neighbourhood. The area was designed according to the English concept of a garden city, so it is made up of beautiful courtyards, each one with its own gardens, squares, stairs, balconies and fountains.

One of my favourite things to do in Garbatella is trying to cross the area without walking along the paved roads, but moving from one courtyard to the next one: they are all connected, like in a maze!

This is also an area where I like to go out, as I know that in Garbatella I can still find some authentic Roman cuisine and great live concerts.

Being close to the third University of Rome, the area is now inhabited by many students.

During the past years, many street artists have come and left a mark on Garbatella’s walls: I love how colorful the neighbourhood is nowadays, and the way street art mingles with both the eclectic villas (whose architectural references range from Borromini to the Futurist movement and Art Deco) and the village-ish atmosphere of the neighbourhood.

Because, despite the radical transformation undertaken during the latest decades, Garbatella is still a community-hood holding on to its authentic atmosphere.

Villa dei Quintili – Atmospheric Roman villa
2020.02.28.
https://www.spottedbylocals.com/rome/villa-dei-quintili/

The Appian Way (Via Appia Antica) is an ancient road that once connected Rome with Brindisi in the southeast of Italy. You’d struggle to follow the road all the way till the end today, but you can still walk in the footsteps of the Ancient Romans, walking along the ancient cobblestones of a road lined with fragmented monuments and ruined villas. Quite simply, it’s one of the most atmospheric places in Rome.

Villa dei Quintili is an archaeological site located about five miles along the Appian Way. These sprawling ruins were once a grand country house that belonged to the Quintili brothers, before the Emperor Commodus had them murdered and took the house for himself.

Technically there’s not much to see here, but it’s a peaceful place with relatively few visitors, and somewhere I’ve always found inspiring. Important scenes in my novel “In Exile” take place in the ruins of the villa and along the Appian Way – the perfect setting for people to experience the magic and mystery of the ancient world.

To get to the villa, take the 118 bus from the centre to Appia Antica. It won’t take you all the way to the entrance, but it’s a lovely walk to the villa. While the official address is on Via Appia Nuova, the villa is also accessible from Via Appia Antica (which is much more scenic). Double-check opening hours before you visit, as the archaeological site closes earlier in the winter.
