Info
Garbatella is a quarter belonging to the Municipio VIII (ex-Municipio XI) of the commune of Rome, Italy, in the Ostiense district. Its population counts nearly 45,000.It was founded in the late 1920s on an estate bearing the same name lying on a hill adjacent to the Basilica of Saint Paul Outside the Walls. The older section of the area is divided into project units (Italian: lotto), each of them made of several buildings grouped together around a common yard: this design was borrowed from the English Garden city movement.
This kind of architectural agglomeration, in Rococo style, consists of a common garden area which serves as an informal meeting point for all the families that live on the estate.
