Description:
EAA MERC Community gathering at Giardino Verano. The price includes one drink and a selection of finger foods.
Giardino Verano is a 10-minute walk from Sapienza in the San Lorenzo neighbourhood. It is a light-impact facility and a public space for cultural and social events in front of the Early Christian Basilica San Lorenzo, hosting many Roman and Medieval remains, and the Monumental Cemetery of Verano. San Lorenzo catacombs are in the same spot.
San Lorenzo district was originally a working-class neighbourhood and the area of Rome that received the most damage from bombing during World War II on July 19, 1943. Today, the district hosts the student community, but traditional artisans, particularly marble workers, are still active, and their shops alternate with pubs, pizza houses, art studios, and social activists’ collectives.
While many bars and restaurants can be closed in late August, and nightlife reduced, Giardino Verano functions all summer long. People can relax, listen to music, meet old and new friends, study, play, eat, and drink surrounded by trees, immersed in a cozy atmosphere.
How to get there: Can be reached on foot from Sapieza campus (10-minute walk).
