Don't miss out on Rome neighborhoods like the Cavalleggeri: it's just on the other side of the Vatican & St. Peter's Square & half the price!
Rome is full of dozens of neighborhoods to explore, most in areas where visitors to the Eternal City never set foot, like the Cavalleggeri neighborhood. Today I chatted with Teresa Bergamini Forcina about her neighborhood, why she loves it so much and why she’s writing a book about the area.
After a visit to Saint Peter's Square and the Basilica almost everyone heads to the Prati area in the direction of the Vatican museums to grab a bite to eat or a gelato. Instead of heading in the Prati direction when you leave the Vatican and Saint Peter’s Square head in the opposite direction to the Cavalleggeri neighborhood for a bite to eat. Eateries are simple and no-frills but you’ll pay half the price and have the chance to experience this historic working class Rome neighborhood.
