Trullo, Urban district in southern Rome, Italy
Trullo is an urban residential district in southern Rome that spreads across several streets lined with apartment buildings and local shops. A central market and main street with storefronts form the heart of this neighborhood.
The neighborhood was created in 1939 when housing was built for Italians returning from North Africa. This founding moment shaped the social character of the district from its beginning.
The neighborhood expresses itself through street art and murals created by local artists who share messages on the walls. This visual creativity shapes how the streets look and shows how residents connect with their surroundings.
The neighborhood is easy to walk through, with shops and the market located near the center, making navigation straightforward. A daytime visit works best when the market and stores are open.
The neighborhood's name comes from a Roman tomb near the Tiber river, giving this otherwise ordinary area a surprising ancient connection. This archaeological presence eventually became part of the name it carries today.
