Episode: A Walk in Trastevere, Rome
The listener purchased a guide to the neighborhood at a second-hand bookshop and used it to locate a piazza and learn about the area's history, including underground ruins and the Basilica of Santa Maria.
Here are some books written by local authors, including a guide to the neighborhood.
As you purchase the book, you ask the woman if she has any recommendations for breakfast.
Thanks to the book, the piazza is easy to find. Without a map, you might easily have missed it, as it's hidden in a maze of narrow streets, standing here in this peaceful square.
Luckily, your guidebook has an explanation. While it doesn't mention the wall, there's a paragraph about some underground ruins in this exact location.
After reading this, you close the book. Soon, you'll go inside the church and see these things for yourself.
