 | While the sun shines here in California, we've just heard of the snow in Chianti--over a meter has been recorded in some spots. While you may think it's time for bears to hibernate as I did, in fact the number of Bears in Bern's BearPark doubled with the birth of twins, and we snagged some pictures. Plus, one of my favorite seldom-visited neighborhoods of Rome is Testaccio. I visited last December and prepared a step-by-step presentation of its charms. See below and enjoy your weather, whatever it's doing out there. | |
Testaccio: A Roman Neighborhood
Centered around a hill made of smashed-up amphorae, Testaccio represents the quintessential Roman neighborhood, with its own cuisine born out of the "Fifth Quarter" nasty bits from the stockyard, which has been made into a contemporary art museum. Our walk through Testaccio will also take us through Rome's Ghetto, where the cuisine and architecture changes dramatically. Join us for the ride.
