Piazza Montanara
Municipio I, Italy
Piazza Montanara was an ancient and picturesque square of Rome (Italy) located at the foot of the Tarpeian Rock, in close proximity to the Capitolium and partially bounded by the Theatre of Marcellus. Now it has completely disappeared following the demolition of the Fascist era, to create the initial stretch of Via del Mare, later called Via del Teatro di Marcello. The destruction of Piazza Montanara was part of a larger project of "isolation" of the Capitoline Hill, which ended up completely erasing the district of medieval origin that surrounded its east and south-east slopes.
