cuore della Roma by night.....da non perdere!!! heart of Rome by night ..... do not miss it !!!
Monte Testaccio is hill entirely made up of broken roman vases. Now it is surrounded by bars, restaurants and clubs and it is one of the most famous spots in town for nightlife.
In the centre of the neighbourhood there’s a small hill called Monte Testaccio. In Roman times food such as honey, sugar, wine and olive oil was transported in terracotta pots called amphorae. Olive oil would degrade the containers so when they could no longer be used they were demolished. Testaccio’s hill is actually a rather scenic garbage dump of 53 million broken amphorae!Restaurants and nightclubs now surround the hill!
