The people and stories behind some of Italy’s most common street names

What about all the Via Gramsci’s that are about? I guess you could write a book on this subject..! Thank you for this!

1861. Not 1961!

  Hi. Thanks for spotting that. That’s been corrected.

  Thanks for reading!

As a Latin teacher, I love how a bunch of streets in the Prati neighborhood in Rome are named after ancient Roman authors (Via Tibullo, Via Ovidio, Via Virgilio, Via Properzio, Via Plinio, Via Orazio, Via Tacito, Via Cicerone, Via Lucrezio Caro) & ancient Roman political/historical figures (Via dei Gracchi, Via Germanico, Via degli Scipioni, Via Silla, Viale Giulio Caesare, Via Varrone, Via Catone, Via Ottaviano, Via Vespasiano, Via Caio Mario, Via Paulo Emilio, Via Duilio).
