Trastevere

<nil>

The people who live in Trastevere, the medieval maze of curving alleys and piazzette on the west bank of the Tiber, believe that their neighborhood is the only true Rome — and its inhabitants the only true Romans. In the heart of the most characteristic district of Rome, Trastevere, it is located in the basement of an 18th-century building, the Catina Fabulous. An authentic underground cellar, obtained from the careful and skillful recovery of a Roman cistern from the 1st century AD, furnished with antique objects and furniture that make this place unique. Original Roman marble, ancient artifacts, furniture, and things related to the production of wine decorate the walls and wooden shelves, which make this place welcoming and pleasant. Over the years, this cellar has become a place for tastings of excellent products for lovers of products with authentic taste and faithful to the ancient tradition of Italian food and wine culture.
