Seven years ago, on my first visit to Rome, I was fortunate to go from the Fiumicino Airport to the Termini train station by shuttle van.
I am hoping someone can tell me the name of a beautiful street we went down for what seemed like a mile or more and ended just before the Termini.
This is how I described the street in my journal ::
"Street after street of the most beautiful apartment buildings go by. I know!! — how can apartment buildings be beautiful!? These Italian ones are all so colorful and filled with plants and flowers, with lots of trees around. Looking upwards out the window, my eyes feast upon trees, bushes, red and orange terra-cotta rooftops, long dark green or blue shutters, and iron grillwork around balconies dripping with flowers."
None of the apartment buildings was over two or three stories. Also, I seem to remember that there was a tree-lined median strip down this particular boulevard.
This was the quintessential Italian residential street, and I didn’t think to get its name, thinking all Roman streets were like this, this being my first visit to Rome.
Since I’ve been back, I have asked all kinds of people where this street is and what is its name. But no one seems to know what I’m talking about. On-line video tours, and image searches have yielded nothing.
I’m hoping one of you might know the name of this street, or at least where it is or might be. Thanks.
