Trullo is a suburb in the southwestern part of Rome that has undergone a remarkable transformation. Originally a borgata from the late 1930s, it has recently become a canvas for contemporary art. An urban regeneration project led by local artists, notably the 'Poeti del Trullo,' has adorned the facades of buildings with colorful murals and poems. These artworks have revitalized the neighborhood, turning it into a unique destination for street art enthusiasts. The art explores themes of local identity, history, and social commentary, offering a powerful contrast to the ancient ruins in the city center. Visiting Trullo provides an opportunity to see a dynamic, evolving side of Rome, far from the usual tourist trails.
