The most beautiful streets of Rome
Via di Ripetta
If you are familiar with Rome, you know that three thoroughfares radiate south from Piazza del Popolo. Among them is Via di Ripetta, which leads to the Mausoleum of Augustus on the Campus Martius. It is also one of the central artefacts of the city. Gaius Julius Caesar Octavian Augustus, the founder of the Roman Empire, began building this tomb in 28 BC. But after the decline of the Imperium Romanum, the mausoleum gradually began to deteriorate, and in the 8th century it was completely plundered. Today, this historical site is reliably protected by the state, and a few years ago, the city commissioner-prefect ratified a project to allocate €6,000,000 for the restoration of the monument.
In addition to the Augustus Museum, the following attractions are located on Via di Ripetta:
Palace Capponi Della Palma;
The old building of the conservatory;
Institute of Fine Arts of the 19th century;
Churches (Chiesa di Santa Maria Portae Paradisi, San Rocco ad Augustuso, San Girolamo Degli Schiavoni).
Via di Ripetta is one of the famous streets of Rome and is a popular tourist route of the city. Thousands of travelers flock here every day to get acquainted with the history of the capital of Italy.
Via del Babuino
The most famous Roman thoroughfare was called via dell'Orto di Napoli and via del Cavalletto 7 centuries ago. In 1525, by order of Pope Clement VII, in the world Giulio Medici, the street was named in his honor. But 15 years later it was renamed again. The street was called Via Paolin, in honor of Pope Paul III. But its current name is the contribution of another representative of the Holy Catholic Church. It was Pope Pius V. It was he who ordered the construction of a fountain with a statue of Silenus (a deity of Asia Minor mythology, similar to a satyr) on the street. This happened in 1571. But the statue of Silenus sprawled by the fountain was so repulsive that the locals nicknamed it ""the baboon"". He not only gained enormous fame among the Romans, but also gave the name to the entire street.
Paradoxically, over the years the statue suddenly became popular with the natives. A telling case is when it was removed (already in the 19th century) so as not to interfere with traffic, the townspeople stood up to protect the landmark. They demanded that the ""baboon"" be returned to its place. True, more than one year had passed since the statue had been in obscurity.
Via Vittorio Veneto
Via Vittorio Veneto is a street well known to fans of Italian cinema. It is home to the famous ""Cafe de Paris"" and ""Harry's Bar"", where scenes for the legendary film ""La Dolce Vita"" were filmed. The street was designed at the end of the 18th century, and today, along with residential buildings, it houses one of the most prestigious Roman hotels and the American embassy.
Via dei Fori Imperiali
This is not even a street, but a wide avenue located in the center of the capital. It goes from Piazza Venezia to the Colosseum . The highway was built in 1932 by order of Benito Mussolini (Benito Amilcare Andrea Mussolini), who led Italy at the time as Prime Minister. Initially, the street was called Via dell'Impero, but after the end of World War II it was renamed Via dei Fori Imperiali.
