Via Margutta is a small street in the centre of
Rome, near to
Piazza del Popolo, accessible as a small alley from
Via del Babuino, in the old quarter of
Campo Marzio, also known as ''"the foreigner's quarter"'', located near to the slopes of
Mount Pincio. It is a place with many art galleries and fashionable restaurants, where before the
Renaissance there were only modest craftsmen workshops and stables. In the 1950s, after the film
Roman Holiday it became an exclusive road, and a residence of many famous people, like film director
Federico Fellini. It can be reached from the north traveling by the
Via Cassia or by
Flaminia until arriving to the large square
Piazzale Flaminio, and then passing through the city door in the wall that leads to
Piazza del Popolo square, from this point it is a walk of several meters to the left of the
Flaminio Obelisk towards
Via del Babuino; on the left side of this road there is an alley that leads to Via Margutta. ==Via Nazionale==
