Piazza della Madonna dei Monti

Sip and Stroll: Enjoying Rome’s Piazza Santa Maria ai Mont

This piazza is adjacent to the church from which its name belongs, Church of Santa Maria ai Monti. The fountain at its center was designed by Giacomo della Porta in 1588 and finished by Battista Rusconi, a stonemason. Its side bears the coat of arms of Pope Sixtus V.

It also is commonplace for local Romans and visiting tourists to assemble here in the early and late evenings for a drink or an aperitivo.
