About
Among the remnants of a peaceful protest from the 1970s is Rome's first modern graffito.
Tor di Nona used to be a thriving cultural hotspot. In the late 17th century Queen Christina of Sweden founded the Teatro Tordinona in the Roman neighborhood, much to the displeasure of Pope. Though the neighborhood has changed, a piece of rogue street art honors its legacy. The theater was eventually shut down and was replaced in 1829 by the Teatro Apollo (a work of architect Valadier). Among other famous performances, two of Giuseppe Verdi's works were first premiered to public at the Apollo.
