About
The locations where Holocaust victims were removed from their homes are marked by brass cobblestones.
The site has seen jousting knights and carnival revelers. It has been the site of passion plays and picnicking lovers for generations. Garibaldi defended Rome from its top, while wine cooled under its caves. But this hill is not one of Rome’s famous seven sisters, but rather an ancient garbage heap. The ancient Romans built Monte Testaccio from broken terracotta amphorae, or oil jars, for more than 250 years.
