Monteverde, as the Gianicolense neighborhood is most often called, is probably not the first neighborhood that anyone who has to live in Rome thinks of, be it Roman by birth or arrived in the capital from other parts of Italy. You get there almost by mistake, driven by work or study reasons, necessarily living in a metropolis with a vast territory, whose residential choices are often slaves to the location of the workplaces, whose proximity is decidedly privileged compared to the many possible parameters . Rome, the Gianicolense district. Living in Monteverde Editor in chief: Claudio Palazzi
In short, Monteverde is certainly not a neighborhood that you choose out of passion, as happens with the characteristic Trastevere. It is more likely that you have to live there, look for a house there and find yourself feeling a little perplexed and uncertain.

So Monteverde is the classic neighborhood that you learn to appreciate by living there, discovering it day after day.

The green corner of Rome, the Orti di Cesare area, began to urbanize starting from the beginning of the twentieth century, in the largest Gianicolense area, giving life to the neighborhood now known as Monteverde Vecchio, initially with elegant villas surrounded by gardens, in excellent Art Nouveau style creations, thanks to a master plan of 1909.

The urbanization will then expand further especially after the Second World War, with more residential buildings, so Monteverde Nuovo will grow as a neighborhood within the neighborhood, or perhaps a neighborhood beyond the neighborhood.

Located in the area to the right of the Tiber and to the west of the historic center, the northern border of the Gianicolense neighborhood is marked by the extensive Roman park, Villa Doria Pamphilj, the great green lung of the city, while to the east there is Trastevere. On the south side of the Gianicolense ring road, which crosses the whole of Monteverde up to Trastevere, there are two large and renowned hospitals, the Spallanzani and the San Camillo-Forlanini, to the north you cross Piazzale Dunant which goes as far as the Donna Olimpia area, where, in the then open countryside, the first buildings of Monteverde Nuovo arose, quickly built in the fascist era, by the Istituto Case Popolari, to house the thousands of displaced people from the historic center, as well as immigrants and the homeless, in huge, high buildings without elevators, thus electing the current Donna Olimpia area as an official suburb. Naturally at the time there were still no shops, not even food shops, to satisfy that sudden population of around 5,000 individuals, who supplied themselves from the market that was set up nearby every day.
Those barracks were then described by Pier Paolo Pasolini in his very famous novel “Ragazzi di vita”, which he wrote about right after he moved to the neighborhood in 1954, in via Fonteiana, telling the stories of the young people who animated the streets of the neighborhood.

The residential Monteverde was therefore born as a proletarian neighborhood and, even if today's inhabitants are extremely diversified compared to those of the past, the social fabric has remained very well integrated and it is precisely this that characterizes it as an overall quiet neighborhood.

Features and curiosities

Monteverde is rarely included in tourist itineraries, if not for the splendid panoramic view, particularly romantic at night, that the Janiculum offers and which embraces the whole of Rome. So it is precisely from "il Fontanone" at the top of the Janiculum, as the Romans called the Acqua Paola fountain, that the filming of The Great Beauty by Paolo Sorrentino, awarded with the Oscar for best foreign film, starts.
Beyond in Pasolini in Monteverde, Miriam Mafai, Attilio Bertolucci, Gianni Rodari also lived.
The neighborhood has then, over time, especially in Monteverde Vecchio, attracted other famous people from culture, entertainment and politics, who have settled there and still live there, from Nanni Moretti to Carlo Verdone, Serena Dandini, Paola Cortellesi, Pino Insegno.
Unfortunately the neighborhood is not served by any underground line, but it has two quite efficient tram lines, 8 and 3, which connect to the center of the capital, nevertheless there is no shortage of valid places of culture, such as the Teatro Vascello.
