Ciao amici! The first phase of our trip to Italy is done: we just booked the first 5 nights at a pretty hostel in Rome, in Travestere to be more precise. Travestere is across the river Tiber (that's what the name means!) and used to be the artisan area of the city in classical times.  Well into the 20th century, Travestere was inhabited by artisans and immigrants which gave it a strong personality...still today, the area is characterized and praised by visitors for its narrow streets, closeted squares, beautiful churches, trattorias with tables set along the cobblestones streets and animated night scene ! http://www.colorshotel.com/pictures.html
