Considered the main artery of the district, Via del Governo Vechhio has retained an evocative atmosphere. In largely unaltered renaissance style, elegant palaces alternate with simple but unmistakably charming houses.
Since it is on the route of the processions that used to run from Saint Peter's to San Giovanni in Laterano, this street was formerly known as Via Papalis. It was later renamed Via del Governo Vecchio because the residence of the governor of Rome was at number 39 until the first half of the 18th century.
It's a lively neighbourhood with restaurants, cafes and shops at street level. Despite it being close to some significant tourist sites walking here feels like you've escaped the crowds.
