  Monte Testaccio

  We'll taste excellent wine, cheeses, and cured meats in a typical Roman tavern, a "cave" beneath Monte dei Cocci, also known as Monte Testaccio. This is a man-made hill in Rome's Testaccio neighborhood, 54 meters high. It was formed between the 1st and 3rd centuries AD as a landfill for millions of fragments of Roman amphorae, mostly terracotta, used to transport goods such as oil. Once emptied at the nearby river port on the Tiber, these amphorae were broken into pieces and neatly stacked.
