The
Via della Lungaretta in the
picturesque Trastevere district in Rome runs exactly where, in the 2nd century BC, the
Via Aurelia Nova was located. The street is split in two by the late 19th century Viale Trastevere.

The ancient
Via Aurelia Nova started at what was then called the
Ponte Emilio (and is now known as the
Ponte Rotto, or Broken Bridge). It went up the
Janiculum hill and subsequently continued towards the
Forum Aureli (now
Montalto de Castro).
Initially the name was changed into the
Via Trastiberina and later, under
Pope Julius II, into the
Via della Lungaretta.
The
Via della Lungaretta is one of Rome’s most photogenic streets. The part east of the
Viale Trastevere is more of an alley with several small shops (a.o. an English language used book store), while the part on the other side of the main street is wider and is full of restaurants.
Colorful Trastevere is a funky, bohemian area that clings to its centuries-old, working-class roots. It's known for traditional and innovative trattorias, craft beer pubs and artisan shops, as well as simple B&Bs and budget hotels. From the pre-dinner passeggiata (promenade) until late, a young crowd buzzes around Piazza di San Calisto and Piazza Santa Maria in Trastevere, the site of a gilded, mosaic-filled church.
