Located in the northwestern part of Rome, Casalotti di Boccea is a sprawling, primarily residential district offering a peaceful alternative to the bustling heart of the Eternal City. While not known for major tourist attractions of its own, its charm lies in the opportunity to experience daily Roman life. The area is well-connected to the public transport network, with numerous bus lines linking residents to nearby metro stations, allowing for straightforward access to Rome's historic center. The area has developed significantly in recent decades, growing from a rural area to a busy suburb. It is named after two important thoroughfares: Via di Casalotti and Via di Boccea.
