Trastevere - Monteverde

[] [] []

Nowadays, Trastevere keeps its peculiarity thanks to its narrow streets covered by sampietrini, surrounded by original medieval popular houses. At night the streets are crowded by both Italians and foreigners because of the many pubs and restaurants. However, much of the original character of Trastevere remains. The area is also home to John Cabot University, a private American University, the American Academy in Rome, and the Rome campus of the Thomas More College of Liberal Arts, as well as the Canadian University of Waterloo School of Architecture (between the months of September and December annually), therefore serving as home to an international student body.

The individual character of this neighborhood has attracted artists, foreign expats, and famous people. In the sixties and seventies, the american musicians/composers Frederic Rzewski and Richard Teitelbaum, of the group Musica Elettronica Viva, made the streets of Trastevere their home, with both living in Via della Luce. Sergio Leone, the film director of the Spaghetti Western genre, grew up in Viale Glorioso (there is a marble plaque to his memory on the wall of the apartment building), and went to a catholic private school in the neighborhood. Ennio Morricone, the film music composer, went to the same school, and for one year, shared an elementary school grade with Sergio Leone.
