The area was a development plan for working class families in the 1920’s copying the British ‘Garden City’ by Ebenezer Howard, a utopian ideal where residents live in harmony with nature. The architectural style is a mix of Baroque-like ‘Barochetto’ with naturalistic botanical and animal motifs along with Medieval and Renaissance flourishes. Legend has it the name came from a kind innkeeper known as Carlotta who fed construction workers, which led to the shortening of Garbata Ostella meaning ‘well-liked hostel’ to Garbatella. Perfect to try the authentic local cuisine

" the city within a city", a residential quarter for workers, planned during the fascist era. Take a walk in the quarter, recommended on Sunday.

working-class neighbourhood, a small town in the city. It is easily reached by metro. Wander around the old part: architecture from the 1920s, up and down stairs. Very quiet, residential, large courtyards with free entry. To better understand the spirit of the Romans. Best visited in the afternoon, from 5 p.m. onwards

Garbatella is a poetic neighbourhood. Garbatella is a maze of courtyards, each one with its own gardens, squares, stairs, balconies and fountains. What makes Garbatella so intriguing is its distinctive design. This neighborhood was modeled on the garden city suburbs that were popular in England in the early 20thcentury, creating a particularly unique style of architecture and sense of community. bars with open air terrace, restaurants with local cuisine, food markets make this neighborhood one of the best neighborhood in Rome where to live
