Once upon a time….
I will tell you a story. Is the story of the River, with capital letter. Tevere is its name and I will describe it as a person, calling it simply Tevere.

Tevere was the cradle of Rome. It’s told that the two founders of Rome, Romolo and Remo, were delivered by a she-wolfe on the Tevere shore and you can believe to this tale. Be enough to give a brief view to a map: seven nice hills and a golden river. An amazing place to stay and establish your family.
You can find a huge amount of books and literature on the history of Tevere, but I don’t want to bore you with details of the roman history, both ancient and contemporary.
According to my style, I will give you few suggestions to enjoy the river, even though would be hard for you to find a boat to sail along their shores. But you can walk or run following the right side (the left one is more wild and neglected) and carrying with you a camera or a good cell phone.
I have a special archive devoted to Tevere, all pictures taken running every seasons of the year. And I will use some of my pictures to introduce the treasures you can find along Tevere shores.
Then read more in depht what's your real nature, and follow me in the game of Tevere's faces!
Are you an adventurous curious explorer? Well, you can find jungle and hidden treasures.

Do you love island's mood? Then you should visit Tiberina island, just between Vatican and Jewish neighborhood.

If you are looking for mistery and smell of moist cellars, you should have a view of Castel Sant'Angelo, just walking between Ponte San'Angelo and Ponte Umberto I
Smell of suicides and hangings
But, of course, you could be only a pacific tourist looking for nice ducks and cats. And you can find them!

All wanderful? Not exactly. Sometime you can find rain. But it's amazing as well!
