A View of the Living Room featuring Mackintosh Furniture - Rome, Latium (Lazio), Italy Apartment in Trastevere LOCATION: The apartment is located on one of the most charming streets of the Artist's Quarter of TRASTEVERE. The major thoroughfare of the district, Viale Trastevere, is just 200 yards away. Along this road run major bus and tram lines connecting to all points of the city. The most colorful fruit and vegetable market of the district lies just a couple of yards from the front door. The important historical sites of Trastevere are all within a five-minute walk including the Church and Square of Santa Maria in Trastevere, heart of the neighborhood, which is just 500 yards away. Nearby is the Bernini masterpiece of Beata Ludovica Albertoni in the Church of San Francesco a Ripa, Bramante's magnificent Renaissance chapel in San Pietro in Montorio and the panoramic lookout point of the Janiculum Hill. In the immediate vicinity there are pharmacies, convenience shops, banks, English-language cinemas and an American-style grocery. The nearest hospital is just 800 yards away. The best nightlife of the city is concentrated in the immediate vicinity including world-famous restaurants like Sabbatini, Galeassi, and Da Meo Pattaca. THE BUILDING: Constructed in 1797 as part of Napoleon's first public works project in the city, this palazzo was created as one of the very first condominiums designated for the local populace under the French administration in what was then known as VIA VERDIRAME - a thoroughfare dating to Roman times. Today's population is an interesting mix of locals and permanent foreign residents of the city involved in the arts and design. The inner courtyard and main facade - as well as the public foyers and stairwells - have all undergone a recent renovation and are in pristine state. The facade is in Neo-Classical style and the building is listed as a national historical monument.
