Also for the month of April we propose a series of events to discover the beauties of the Roman coast, between archeology, nature and art.

Ostium in Latin means the mouth of the river. It is precisely at the mouth of the Tiber, in fact, that the first Roman colony was founded (according to Livy) in the seventh century. BC, to protect Rome from possible enemy raids and to control the large salt marshes, which were vital at the time.

The Castle of Julius II, a jewel of Renaissance military architecture, is the symbol of the village of Ostia Antica, together with the contemporary basilica of Sant’Aurea. Despite its importance, the castle, located about one hundred meters from the entrance to the famous archaeological excavations of Ostia Antica, is often ignored by tourists..

The Research Cooperative on the Territory, founded by Maria Pia Melandri and Paolo Isaja, has been a point of reference for culture (in a broad sense) on the Roman coast for many years now. Among the many initiatives, the film reviews at the Polo Ostiense have now become a classic.
“Film review at the Ecomuseum of the Roman Coast”
Our discovery of the characters who made the history of the Roman coast through the streets and squares dedicated to them begins from the heart of the village of Ostia Antica, where a small road leads to one of the two entrances that open into its medieval walls. The gnome Alfredo, who kindly lent himself to be a photojournalist, will accompany us on this fantastic journey between history and legends.
“Via Claudia Quinta”
The Elsa Morante Municipal Library, created in the evocative rooms of the former marine colony Vittorio Emanuele III designed by Marcello Piacentini (1916), is one of the cornerstones of culture on the Roman coast.
