Roman Walks
Via Giulia, built in the 16th century, is one of several beautiful cobblestoned streets close to the city center that retains a peaceful atmosphere. The mile stroll is dotted with spots like the white stone church of Santa Maria dell’Orazione e Morta. On the other end of the spectrum, the up-and-coming neighborhood of Monti, is a snapshot of the city’s bustling enclaves; don’t miss Dal Anto (Via della Madonna dei Monti, 16; 39-06/678-0712), an heirloom artisanal bakery, and fashion-forward Mikiway (Via del Boschetto, 40; 39-06/488-0914).
