piazzas. It is also wider than most streets in the centre of Rome, but still only has barely room for two lanes of traffic and two narrow sidewalks. The northern portion of the street is a pedestrian

area. The length of the street is roughly 1.5 kilometres.

Via dei Fori Imperiali

Via dei Fori Imperiali is a road in the centre of the city that runs in a straight line from the Piazza Venezia to the Colosseum.

The road, whose original name was "Via dell'Impero", was built during the dictatorship of

Forum of Trajan, Forum of Augustus and Forum of Nerva

, parts of which can be seen on both sides of the road. There has in recent years been a great deal of archeological excavation on both sides of the road, while significant Imperial Roman structures are still under it.

Via Giulia

Regola, although its northern part belongs to rione Ponte. It was one of the first important urban planning projects in Renaissance

Rome.

Via Giulia was projected by Pope Julius II but the original plan was only partially carried out. This was the first attempt since antiquity to pierce a new thoroughfare through the heart of Rome and the first European example since antiquity of urban renewal. Via Giulia runs from the Ponte Sisto to the church of San Giovanni dei Fiorentini in a straight line, rather than following the tight curve of the Tiber. It became the most fashionable street for new construction for borghesi and for the Florentine community in the sixteenth century. Today its structures provide one of Rome's elite shopping streets, noted for its antique shops.

Via Margutta

Via Margutta is a small street in the centre of Rome, near to Piazza del Popolo, accessible as a small alley from Via del Babuino, in the old quarter of Campo Marzio, also known as "the foreigner's quarter", located near to the slopes of Mount Pincio. It is a place with many art galleries and fashionable restaurants, where before the Renaissance there were only modest craftsmen workshops and stables.

In the 1950s, after the film

Roman Holiday it became an exclusive road, and a residence of many famous people, like film director Federico Fellini. It can be reached from the north traveling by the Via Cassia or by Flaminia until arriving to the large square Piazzale Flaminio, and then passing through the city door in the wall that leads to Piazza del Popolo square, from this point it is a walk of several meters to the left of the Flaminio Obelisk towards Via del Babuino

; on the left side of this road there is an alley that leads to Via Margutta.
