4/9/2017 0 Comments Exploring Monti ❤Rione Monti is Rome's first district... Rione 1. Sandwiched between the Colosseum and Piazza Venezia, you somehow feel miles away from the chaos. Monti is a small Quartiere and feels like a true Roman neighborhood. This is quite remarkable given its proximity to so many tourist "must sees". You still find Romans living and working in Monti... Older couples, families and young artistic types. Monti has been a haven for artists and bohemians since the 1930's, when Mussolini closed off this area between Via Cavour and Via Nazionale to make way for his Via dei Fiori Imperiali. Although definitely gentrified from its once working class roots, Monti has somehow held onto it cool, village like character. Beautiful cobblestones line these ancient lanes. Some of the city's best shopping... unique boutiques and galleries... and some pretty fantastic restaurants!
Monti is classic, chic and oh soooo very cool! Stroll these streets, day or night... the atmosphere is always amazing! 😘
