We explore the Monti neighbourhood looking for the unsung greatness of Medieval Rome. Sandwiched between the impressive monuments of antiquity and the stately Renaissance buildings, Medieval Rome, inhabited by pilgrims, anti-Popes, visionaries, and gangster-like clans of self-styled aristocrats is still visible on the slopes of the Esquiline Hill. We start off looking at the colourful mosaics of a nymphaeum, followed by the remains of a Roman domus buried beneath one of the most impressive towers, the Annibaldi tower. Then we head off to explore the rest of the neighbourhood.
