Between the Colosseum and the basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore, Monti has kept a village soul: vintage shops, workshops, wine bars and a little square, Piazza della Madonna dei Monti, where people sit around the fountain.
Rome’s first rione, Monti corresponds to the ancient Subura, a crowded working-class district at the foot of the imperial forums. Long modest, Monti has become one of the most sought-after areas since the 2000s, without losing its long-time residents.
