Right now, if you asked any Roman about San Lorenzo, they’d probably say “la movida.<\/em>” A word borrowed from Spanish, it means the young-person culture of bars, aperitivo<\/a><\/em> and late-nights. San Lorenzo, located just behind Termini, is adjacent to La Sapienza, Rome’s biggest university. Every night, its numerous bars, pubs, and restaurants fill with students and young Romans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n San Lorenzo’s history is far more profound than that, though. Originally a working-class neighborhood, San Lorenzo was heavily bombed<\/a> by the Allies during World War Two, killing over 1,000 residents. You can still see a plaque commemorating this on one of the 3rd-century walls that ring San Lorenzo, for in ancient times this was the first area outside the city. Such a diversity of history and residents gives San Lorenzo a wonderful mixture of spots, from old-school trattorie<\/em> to student-heavy dives. Here’s where to find the best restaurants, bars and all-around fun in San Lorenzo for your next trip.<\/p>\n\n\n
