Yado-Yukie
This building located in front of the Antonio Mancini square, was built during the later half the 1920s and is a clear
example of how the art nouveau style evolved into art déco.
A large fountain with palm trees give this courtyard a typically
roman atmosphere. The main Piazza and the neighbouring streets
have all been given names of italian artists of the XIXth
century, Antonio Mancini, being himself a XVIIIth century
painter specialised in portraits.
Since the roman times, the europeans have used Ponte Milvio
as a passage way across the Tiber to reach the Flaminio avenue
and finally arrive at the Piazza del Popolo. The B&B Yado-Yukie
is close to Ponte Milvio. From this quiet and green residential
area one can easily walk to the Foro Italico, the football
stadium, the Auditorium ( concert hall built by the arch.
Renzo Piano) and the Museum of Contemporary Art MAXXI.
Facing the entrance of the building you have many bus stops
and a tram that can bring you in about 8 minutes to the Piazza
del Popolo. From there, the stairs of Piazza di Spagna and
via dei Condotti with all its luxury shops are within a 5
minutes walk. Finally a simple bus ride will lead you either
to the Vatican or to Trastevere.
