Trastevere, Rome's Bohemian Heart and Villa Farnesina

Trastevere, situated on the west bank of the Tiber River, epitomizes Rome's bohemian spirit. Its narrow cobblestone streets and medieval architecture create a timeless atmosphere that attracts locals and tourists alike. Transitioning from Trastevere's bustling streets, we arrive at Villa Farnesina, a magnificent Renaissance villa constructed in the early 16th century for the affluent banker Agostino Chigi. Inside, visitors marvel at the exquisite frescoes by Raphael.
