The
Jewish Ghetto is the area in Rome that most feels like a
village.
On weekends, especially in spring and summer, as
the sun sets and the traffic roar dies down, clusters of
locals meet for an early evening chat, perched on the steps
or seated at the outdoor tables of one of the cafes.
 Children roam freely in the pedestrian area, andeverybody
seems to know each other by their first names.
Under a certain point of view, Theatre of Marcello is the symbol of
the special relationship that Rome has with its past: an
ancient Roman theatre that, at the beginning of the Middle
ages, started to be used for residential purposes, and now
it has become one of the most recognisable landmarks of the
city.
The position is also strategic: right on the back of
the Capitol hill, at
 the immediate outskirts of the ancient
Jewish ghetto, with the romantic delight of the Isola Tiberina at an arm’s stretch and Trastevere, the imperial
forum and the boutiques of the centre just a bit further.
At
night, stepping outside the building you will have the
unique sensation of being immersed in the historical past of
Rome’s most typical quarter, famous for its many “trattoria”
restaurants where one enjoy excellent food in a
characteristic setting.
