A foodie oasis with a contemporary bite
Garbatella fast becomes a favourite of any that visit it. Boasting otherworldly architecture, authentic local
cuisine and lively laid-back nightlife, it’s a neighbourhood that attracts the locals. The impressive bridge
Settimia Spizzichino is now opening up a contemporary artery into the historic neighbourhood linking it to
the studenty Via Ostiense and inspiring a new wave of hip venues.
The area was a development plan for working class families in the 1920’s copying the British ‘Garden City’
by Ebenezer Howard, a utopian ideal where residents live in harmony with nature. The architectural style is a
mix of Baroque-like ‘Barochetto’ with naturalistic botanical and animal motifs along with Medieval and
Renaissance flourishes. It has been left to quietly age, the rain creating a romantic Titian-like rust on the
facades. Small detached apartment blocks huddle around inner common courtyards with green cultivable
spaces. Legend has it the name came from a kind innkeeper known as Carlotta who fed construction workers,
which led to the shortening of Garbata Ostella meaning ‘well-liked hostel’ to Garbatella. The plan also
included Via delle Sette Chiese, an ancient trail for pilgrims to the seven major basilicas in Rome. From
eclectic buildings to yummy food, prepare to get a taste of one of the coolest neighbourhoods of Rome.
Explore Ostiense’s street art - Via in Selci, 58
Witness incredible forgotten buildings and hidden walls flourish in color and drawings . See millenary
buildings and ancient ruins smoothly blend with this new disrupting form of art. And get your camera ready
for the most unconventional Rome you would ever imagine! From Tormarancia, to Porto Fluviale and
Garbatella, get ready to discover a whole new side of the Eternal City.

terracotta building with clock tower designated for bachelors.

The jasmine walk-
Rome is not only the Colosseum, Imperial Forums and Piazza Navona. There are also many little-known places that can give emotions to those you come across. One of these is the Jasmine Walk.
To find it you have to go to the San Pietro station (which is right in Via della Stazione di San Pietro - a side street of Via di Porta Cavalleggeri), enter as if you were to take the train and immediately turn right along the track 1.
At one point we find ourselves in an avenue with only one track on the left, this is the Vatican Railway, the shortest international railway in the world - just over a kilometer long - that connects Italy to the Vatican City State. Until the Jubilee the Vatican Railway had two tracks, now only one remains because the other has been transformed into a beautiful walk, the Promenade of the Jasmine.
Walking along the stretch that leads from the San Pietro station to the Aurelia ramp, the staircase that runs along the Vatican walls, you can enjoy a splendid view of the dome of San Pietro and it is possible to admire Er Cupolone from an unusual perspective.
If you want to take a picture with the Dome of St. Peter behind you this is the right place.
We were there yesterday and I assure you that it is very pleasant to travel this short section drawn from a track of the Vatican Railroad.
