Apartment Foro Piscario is located in one of the most charming and authentic neighbourhood of Rome, between the Jewis Ghetto and Campo de Fiori Area. The 1st century BC "Teatro Marcello" (kind of a small colosseum) and the ruins of Octavia’s Portico are just nextdoor! The marvellous "Tortoise Fountain" lies in the little square in front of the patrician Palazzo Mattei and Palazzo Costaguti (16th century) endowed in the interior with fine marbles, statues and decorations, and frescoes by Guercino, Domenichino and the Zuccari brothers. Visit the beautiful 1905 Synagogue and its museums of the Rome Jewish Community.
This ancient and popular market area has always been the center of Rome Jewish community life. There are several restaurants in the Ghetto area which serve Jewish-Roman food (not always kosher). Typical dishes are Fritto misto vegetale (Mixed vegetables fried in batter), Filetti di baccalà; (Fried cod fillets) and Carciofi alla Giudia (Artichokes in the Jewish style).
From the old ghetto walk to nearby medieval and renaissance Rome: see the open air market of “Campo de’ Fiori” with picturesque stalls, Palazzo Spada with Borromini’s amazing trompe l’oeil gallery and Piazza Farnese with Michelangelo’s magnificent palace. Stroll along colourful backstreets, lined by antique stores and craftsman workshops, to breathtaking Piazza Navona with Bernini’s fountains, sidewalk artists and outdoor cafés.
