The
block
The Eighth King of Rome is located just some thousand steps from
the Colosseum, near “Pigneto”, one of the most picturesque
corners of Rome, a rainbow coloured “city island” just
outside the ancient walls of the city heart, bounded by "Prenestina", "Old
Casilina" and the railway. The neighbourhood may remind you
of "Isola" in Milan, Salvador de Bahia, Belleville, Naples,
Vintmiles, Bangladesh, Jerez de la Frontera, the East Village, Barceloneta … even
Rome. Romans live here, together with a "milanese" and
many people from Sri Lanka. It’s quite common to see old ladies
sitting in front of drugstores, Ceylon people playing dice, transexuals
shopping, old men playing chess and little kids playing football
outside the two-storey houses. Every day a picturesque open air market
gives some colour to the streets. Here the famous soap opera “Casa
Pigneto” has its locations. |
