About Ludovisi
Where to stay in Ludovisi
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
Ludovisi covers a compact stretch of Municipio I, and a room here puts Sant'Isidoro a Capo le Case, Santa Maria Regina dei Minori and the Christuskirche within one walk. The rione dates from 1921. Sant'Isidoro a Capo le Case gives the quieter end of it.
The rione works for you if a base in Rome that stays calm after dark matters more than having the Christuskirche and every other sight on the same street.
About Ludovisi
What are the main landmarks in Ludovisi?
The list here is short. Sant'Isidoro a Capo le Case, Santa Maria Regina dei Minori and the Christuskirche are the three landmarks recorded in the rione, and the German name of the last of them stands out among Roman dedications. All three sit inside Municipio I. Ludovisi carries no ancient monument in the record kept for it, which sets it apart from the rioni numbered before it.
What is the history of Ludovisi?
Sixteenth in the sequence, Ludovisi is one of the later additions to the roll of Rome's rioni. The date attached to it is 1921. Municipio I administers the rione, and the churches inside it, Sant'Isidoro a Capo le Case, Santa Maria Regina dei Minori and the Christuskirche, are what the record names rather than any classical ruin.
The Christuskirche gives the rione a dedication in German rather than in Italian.
