What a beautiful view from above. I’d like to tour Italy by following all your Italian Notebook spots of interest. What has been your favorite so far?

Thank you so much Ian for sharing this wonderful neighborhood. I have fallen hopelessly with Rome and I spend the rest of the year planning my next trip. Having never been, I will certainly plan on including Monteverde in my itinerary when I visit in the Fall.

Wonderful post, this one’s a winner!
I have lived in Rome my entire life but I truly had no idea there were so many “scalinate” connecting Trastevere to Green Hill!

Thank you Ian for taking me there today, and showing me a new part of my city. I will definitely go and discover more secrets.

Ciao,
Eleonora

This is indeed beautiful area, but be sure to take Ian’s advice: walking down is definitely easier. I’d also recommend not trying to do it – as a friend and I did once -in the middle of July, either – really a wonderful spot, but very hot there in summer to be climbing all those steps. ;-) Thanks, Ian – great post!

Thanks for the compliments Pat. I’m lucky enough to walk these steps every day from my apartment in Trastevere up to my university.

Hope you can make it back to Rome soon, its always calling.

I loved this one! Another of the great little secrets that one can find by looking at Italian Notebook! Many thanks- I can’t wait to try the steps and long for a return to Rome to do it! best from Pat Carney
