Itinerary
Meeting Point
Garbatella metro station exit (line B)
1
Ostiense
From the Garbatella metro you will cross the futuristic Ponte Settimia Spizzichino, which connects the Garbatella with the Ostiense district. Here we will hunt for the murals that constitute one of the first, if not the first, example of redevelopment of a neighborhood through street art. Then we will arrive at the Tiber and we will skirt it until we reach the famous Gazometro, symbol of post-industrial Rome, in a surreal scenario between art and degradation. Crossed the river, we will discover the exterior of former factories, whose buildings are now abandoned.
