Via dei Coronari

TIME : 2016/2/18 21:18:46

Famous for its antique shops, this elegant Renaissance street is a lovely place for a stroll. It follows the course of the ancient Roman road that connected Piazza Colonna with the Tiber, but owes its name to the medieval coronari (rosary-bead sellers) who used to hang out here, hawking their wares to pilgrims as they passed en route to St Peter's Basilica.
