Lungotevere di Pietra Papa

Lungotevere di Pietra Papa is the stretch of the lungotevere that connects Lungotevere Vittorio Gassman to Piazza Augusto Righi, in Rome's Portuense district.^[1]

The lungotevere is named after the ancient Via Petra Papae, so named because it was located in the property of the family Papa (or Papareschi); it was established by resolution of the city council of 25 November 1949.^[2]

In this area, in 1943, were carried out archaeological excavations that unearthed the remains of baths and various Roman rooms probably what remains of the villa belonging to the Horti Caesaris; found mosaics and frescoes are kept in the National Museum in Rome.
