It’s always amazing visiting Rome and if you also enjoy the heat, August is a good month to visi. But for the best light and cooler weather October in Rome is wonderful!

This is a great little street to walk down for a few blocks to do some window shopping and soak up some good Roman vibes. We started at Piazza Navona and walked until the San Salvatore in Lauro church. We passed various antique shops, clothing stores, food stores, etc.
3. Ghetto Ebraico

4.5 based on 681 reviews
This historical Jewish Ghetto dates back to 1555, when Pope Paul IV restricted all Jews to a small area of the city, which was then walled in. Today, the ghetto has wonderful eating places with cross-cultural dishes, and a beautiful synagogue with a small museum inside.

This is a part of Rome many miss only a stone throw from Circus Maximus and St Peters. The oldest Synagogue in Rome . With the only Square Cuppola Very interesting museum showing the history of Jewish life in Rome. Then the food only place to find the Jewish Pizza. Actually it is a fruit cake and the Artichoke al la Giuda found only her. The Jewish Pizza is found in a small bakery at the end of the street. Those wanting to see an alternative side of Rome minus the tourists, also sit in one of the several Jewish Restuarants and enjoy a meal. Its worth the side trip

Old cities such as Rome have so much history that one can walk by something interesting without appreciating it's background. The most interesting thing in Piazza di Pasquino is of course the little statue, which we walked past multiple times before checking out what it was about. And how interesting the answer turned out to be. This chunk of marble, clearly a ruined statue, apparently was a stepping stone in a medieval street until 1501 it was erected on this corner near the shop of a bolshie shopkeeper named Pasquino. In an age where freedom of speech wasn't a given he would attach his satirical comments on current affairs on the statue. Others soon followed, 'posting' their comments at night to avoid prosecution. Amazingly this tradition, dubbed 'the talking statue, has continued for over 500 years and indeed there were comments attached to the statue over the two weeks we were staying nearby. Ain't the sweep of history grand - as is the determination of people to be heard.
