Assignment #6: Trastevere

I love Trestevere, but really what isnt there to love about this country side town. I wouldn't exactly describe it as country side anymore but maybe back in the day. Now I look as see elaborately colored buildings, yellows, browns, reds, bricks, its such a beautiful area. I took a few twists and turns earlier this week and found myself a bit lost amongst the tall, colorful buildings. The roads, in the familiar cobblestone seem a bit more straight and flat compared to the Campo. The people seem to move a bit slower and smile more often. The food seemed to even taste better and the drinks seemed bigger. Ok, at this point I think it might just be my imagination grabbing me and convincing me of things to justify my love for this neighborhood.

The Campo to me seems like city living whereas Trestevere seems to be where someone would raise a family, have a small home that was comfortable and cute. Have a narrow backyard with tall trees. Granted this is the case for the entire area, but a bit deeper into the city I saw what I imagined to be homes, there is a small chance that it was a business with a home exterior but who am I to judge? With color, churches on every corner, and enough fountains to satisfy anyone, what's not to love about Trestevere.
