Via Frangipane

Via Frangipane is a narrow street located in Rome's Pigna neighborhood - an area often called the "heart" of the city. The narrow street winds between high, terracotta colored dwellings, with shops and restaurants at the base. The atmosphere of the area is bustling, but still quaint and inviting. Visiting this corner of the city brings you far away from the hustle and bustle of the tourist-heavy districts, but still within walking distance to some of the most famous sites in the city. Be sure to take a stroll and explore the surrounding streets and squares, where you can find many hidden treasures, including a small market on Via Macao and the Church of Santa Maria della Pieta.
