Joseph King @king-rome.bsky.social · 12/10/2026This past weekend was my festival weekend. In addition to the Manifestival that I already posted about, I went to the RomaDiffusa festival in the Esquilino neighborhood of Rome on Sunday. It included visits to artists studios, art installations, and music. 010 0

Joseph King @king-rome.bsky.social · 10/10/2026I can confirm both things. Mass transit does not work well and cabs are often impossible to fine. I’ve survived the past 30 years with a motorbike (not a Vespa but similar) which is really a great way to get around. 010 0

Joseph King @king-rome.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Finally, there is also another festival taking place at the same time as yours (10-11 Oct) called Roma Diffusa. It will take place in in the Esquilino neighborhood of Rome. It has art installations, music, visits and other activities. So it might be worth checking out at some point. 120 0
Joseph King @king-rome.bsky.social · 03/10/2026There are also a lot of really nice contemporary wall murals around Garbatella where your festival is taking place and also in neighboring Testaccio. So just taking a walk in the neighborhood will be pretty interesting. 120 0
Joseph King @king-rome.bsky.social · 03/10/2026The Non-Catholic Cemetery is not too far from where your festival is taking place. Graves include Keats and Shelley, and Beat poet Gregory Corso, as well as Norman Rockwell’s son, the sculptor, Peter Rockwell. This is just to name a few. It is adjacent to the Pyramid of Cestius in Testaccio. 140 0

Joseph King @king-rome.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Great initiative , but it’s not “digitally preserving” but rather digitally documenting. Such documentation is important both for keeping the memory and information when objects and places are lost and useful for carrying out conservation over time. But preservation is for the objects and places. 100 0
