Testaccio

[]

Testaccio is the 20th rione of Rome, deriving its name from Monte Testaccio. In antiquity, much of the Tiber River trade took place here, and the remains of broken clay vessels, or amphorae were stacked creating the artificial Testaccio hill, which today is a source of much archeological evidence as to the history of ancient everyday Roman life. The rione seal depicts one of these amphorae. In modern times, Testaccio has been a center of activity for butchers and has many nightclubs. The neighborhood is currently gentrifying.

The numerous "fraschette", taverns and "trattorie" (once favorite from the fact that to Testaccio was localized the communal Slaughterhouse, and little far away the Markets generate them) have transformed hour in pub and restaurants, than of it they perpetuate “the divertentistica” vocation, and siccome the alimentary pleasures do not exclude those intellectuals, in the old Slaughterhouse it has been installed a section of the MACRO, and to the mount of the Cocci the Popular School of Music of Testaccio has its center.
