This walk will take you on the trail of characters who have distorted gender and sexual norms that we can find in the Trastevere area of Rome, either because they lived there or because their representations still populate this neighborhood. We will encounter religious, spiritual figures, as well as others that are extremely earthly, who did not enjoy fame in their time and have been systematically erased from history.”
