Description:

MACRO Testaccio is located in the same complex that was a slaughterhouse during the 19th century, in a neighbourhood that has begun, in recent years, to stand out for the richness and variety of its cultural and artistic events, mainly targeted to young people. In 2002, two buildings inside the Slaughterhouse complex were assigned to MACRO specifically to encourage and disseminate interest and appreciation for contemporary art. In 2003 it is realized the MACRO Future (today MACRO Testaccio): art exhibitions take place as a regular feature. MACRO Testaccio opens from 4.00 pm to 10.00 pm every day, except on Mondays. The district of Testaccio is an open air museum, crossing it is a trip that embraces all epochs, from the Emporium remains of Rome to the Fascist era construction.  At present, Testaccio is the district of Roman "movida", historically gay friendly, full of restaurants, and the scene of film locations by directors like Pierpaolo Pasolini and Franz Ozpetek.   Minimum 2 person, Maximum 4 person. ( Not suggest Juli and August )

TOUR: Contemporary Art and Testaccio District
It was my first time using Local Guddy and her first time giving tour from this this site. First it was a little awkward but I think she will be even better during the next tours and so I decided to give her 5 stars. We had a lot of fun and she showed me cool places even if the timing wasn't the best for my visit. (Apparently it was holiday time in Roma so there wasn't as much things to see as there would usually.) It was nice to see Rome from the point of view of local after going to the touristy places for a few days. I recommend her tour but maybe ask first if it is good season to visit! :)
