The Grand Amphitheater

Having the Colosseum as your view? make it happen and stay at The Grand Amphitheater - a modern two bedroom, two bathroom apartment right in front of one of the seven wonders of the world. The best contrast you will ever experience. Where will you be located? You will be in the Rione Monti, a young and vibrant area between the Roman Forums and the Colosseum. Enter any bistrot and you find art and live music. The house is located in one of the oldest streets of Rome: just the name, ca va sans dire. And yet Via del Colosseo, where the Colosseum overhangs offering a breathtaking view, has a sub-threshold charm, understatement, perhaps due to the majesty it has lost over the years (for example the church of Santa Maria Mater Divinae Gratiae or the Tower of the Countess, both missing), and that give her that nostalgic, romantic tone. Just below the house, there is the Baroque Church of Santa Maria della Neve, today a place of prayer of the Community of Sant Egidio. Also on the street, there is the sixteenth-century Villa Silvestri, today reduced to a suggestive state of abandonment and decadence, built by Pope Paolo III Farnese's waiter of honor in 1547 on a majestic project by Antonio da Sangallo. This road has a decidedly picturesque feature, given by the sacred shrines: small votive madonnas placed on the walls of buildings: therefore, nose always up! CIR 6657
