Edition 2025 — Ottobrata Testaccina

On Saturday, October 25, 2025, the Testaccio district hosted a new edition of the Ottobrata Testaccina, a free neighborhood festival at Piazza Testaccio supported by the Municipio Roma I Centro. A day of street games, Roman dialect poetry, performances, and a large communal dinner, reviving the historic Roman 'Ottobrate' linked to the end of the harvest.

The 2025 edition of the Ottobrata Testaccina took place on Saturday, October 25, 2025, at Piazza Testaccio, under the patronage of the Municipio Roma I Centro as part of 'Ottobre in Centro'. The morning featured mini-volleyball, artistic gymnastics, sports demonstrations, and street games for children; the afternoon included folk dances, the presentation of the book 'Come in Terra così in Cielo' by Francesca La Spina, and the fourth edition of the 'Testaccio in Rima' Roman poetry festival.

In the evening, after greetings from the authorities, the grand free communal dinner open to the entire neighborhood took place, followed by a concert by the Trio Monti titled 'AmoR, quando Roma sonava', celebrating the memory and popular soul of Testaccio.

In the same month, from October 17 to 19, the Città dell'Altra Economia hosted an open day dedicated to taste and conviviality, with tastings of natural wines, street food, and evening DJ sets in the open air.
