Embark on your walking tour with a breathtaking view of the “Piramide Cestia,”the sole surviving Pyramid of ancient Rome, distinguished by its white marble blocks. As we circumnavigate the pyramid, our journey continues to the “Non-Catholic Cemetery,” our first stop. Delve into the serene ambience of this picturesque cemetery, a peaceful park in the heart of Rome. Admire outstanding sculptures and visit the resting place of non-Catholic celebrities, including renowned figures like British poets Shelley and Keats. Many other artists and writers are here; the famous writer Andrea Camilleri (who invented the stories of the Montalbano commissioner) is buried here too.
Moving forward, explore the fascinating “Monte dei Cocci,”a hill composed of terracotta vase shards, and witness the unique industrial archaeology complex of the “Mattatoio,” the city’s former slaughterhouse.
Culminate your tour at the Testaccio Food Market, a culinary haven that promises to be a highlight of your Roman adventure. Escape the tourist traps and experience the daily life of locals as you peruse stalls offering fresh produce and Roman delicacies. Indulge in a tasting session featuring the iconic “supplì,” a Roman fried rice ball with tomato and mozzarella, delectable Pizza with “mortadella,” and a customizable “panino.” Complement your culinary journey with a glass of local sparkling wine, the “Romanella.”
The tour concludes around 1 pm in the heart of Testaccio, leaving you with lasting memories. Feel free to continue exploring this exceptional neighbourhood on your own or return to the Rome city centre for more adventures in the eternal city.
