Lungotevere Aventino

The Tiber; to the left, the Aventine hill and the lungotevere

Lungotevere Aventino is the part of the lungotevere connecting the ponte Palatino to Piazza dell'Emporio, in Rome, in the rione Ripa.[1]

the Lungotevere corresponds to the slopes of Cermalus , the area of the Palatine hill under which, according to the Legend, Romulus and Remus were picked from the waters of the Tiber, after being abandoned in a basket.[2]

Above the Lungotevere are situated two parks, the parks of Sant'Alessio and the Parco Savello.
