Testaccio part I

Starting point of my visual description of  Italy is Testaccio, food market and area in the heart of Italy - Rome.
You can easily go to this area  placed in the center, near metrostation Piramide Line B.
Apart from buying grocery, you should try street food  inside this market. Top one - fresh pasta Cacio e Pepe (typical for Rome). Wait in line 5-7 minutes while it would be preparing and than you will understand -  its definitely worth it!
Next good local point in this area just in 3 minutes walk from the market - Macro Museum (Museo d'Arte Contemporanea di Roma). Great place to visit, if you are interested in arts and need a bit of modern things in Eternal city. Check exhibitions on http://www.museomacro.org/
