You step from a narrow alley into a sunlit square where laundry flutters between ochre buildings and the basilica bell keeps time—this is Trastevere at first light. The guide leads past Santa Maria in Trastevere’s gold mosaics, then downhill toward the Tiber where Ponte Rotto stares back as a fragment of Rome’s long river story. The river itself seems to nudge the walk along, carving the plain and collecting the city’s layers of stone and trade.
