Rome Street Art with Food Tasting

Discover the real Rome…with a true local!

Walk off the beaten track and explore two of the most authentic districts in Rome: the historic Testaccio and the post-industrial Ostiense.

Both lively and controversial, these neighborhoods provide a perfect backdrop to discover more about Rome’s traditions and contemporary lifestyle, just a few steps from the busy city center!

You’ll visit the historic Testaccio Market and take a stroll through local farmers’ stalls and street food kiosks. Taste yummy specialties and breath in the powerful scents and aromas of local culinary traditions.

Founded in late 19th century to accommodate the growing working class of Rome, Testaccio has been recently turned into a more lively and trendy district. The area conserves an authentic popular soul though. No wonder you may still come across elder residents sitting on a street bench or watching over kids playing in a cozy square.

This is where modern street culture got rooted in Rome and where contemporary artists started painting the walls of abandoned and run-down buildings to give them a new life.

You’ll have the opportunity to appreciate some of these fascinating works, both in Testaccio and in Ostiense, busy industrial heart of Rome in the 1950s, nowadays a cultural melting pot and student district.
