Testaccio Map Poster, Rome

41.8760° N, 12.4750° E

Testaccio takes its name from Monte Testaccio, an artificial hill of 35 meters formed by millions of Roman amphora shards stacked over four centuries. Once the slaughterhouse district, now a gastronomic hotspot, Testaccio unfolds a gridded, airy street plan rare in Rome. Gift a map poster capturing the orderly geometry of this quarter where Roman culinary tradition was born.

Neighborhood Vibe

Testaccio is the Rome tourists don't see — and that's precisely what makes it irresistible. The Mercato di Testaccio is the temple of Roman popular cuisine: supplì, coda alla vaccinara, carciofi alla giudia. Monte Testaccio, that hill of ancient shards, harbors wine cellars and clubs in its flanks. The Pyramid of Cestius, a surreal relic of Roman Egyptomania, stands guard at the district's entrance. Authentic, food-obsessed, unpretentious.
