Sourroundings
Via Gregoriana is a quiet and reserved street , though central, despite the traffic. Many Italian and foreign artists and intellectuals lived there for the health and beautiful location. The church of the Santissima Trinità dei Monti is a late Renaissance church. It is best known for its commanding position above the Spanish Steps which leads down to the Piazza di Spagna. From Via Gregoriana you will have a breathtaking view: the monumental staircase of 135 steps and at the base is the Fontana della Barcaccia credited to Pietro Bernini, father of a more famous son, Gian Lorenzo Bernini. During May, part of the steps are covered by pots of azaleas. The steps are usually crowded with people. In the piazza, at the corner on the right as one begins to climb the steps, is the house where English poet John Keats lived and died in 1821; it is now a museum dedicated to his memory. Nice and interesting shopping tour starting from Via Condotti which is Rome’s top haute couture fashion street. Here, you can find big brand names such as Gucci, Armani, Dior, Cartier, Valentino and Hermès, and several other high-class shops. However, the streets around the Via Condotti, such as Via Frattina, Via del Babuino, Via Borgognona and the Piazza di Spagna also offer some excellent high fashion boutiques, including Roberto Cavalli, Dolce & Gabbana, Versace, Prada and Givenchy and even more. The area is well connected with the Metro – Linea A – Spagna Stop and there are many buses running along the nearest Via del Tritone. Taxi station is in Piazza di Spagna. The location is extremely fabulous for those who want to visit the main sites: Trevi Fountain, Pantheon, Piazza di Torre Argentina, Colosseum, Forums all within walking distance.
