Originally a street of humble artisans, workshops and stables, it now houses many art galleries and trendy restaurants. Although it is in the city center, it retains its garden atmosphere with fragrant trees and vineyards, making it an ideal choice for artists, painters, sculptors and antique dealers. It hosts the traditional art festival "100 Painters of Via Margutta", sponsored by the Mayor and the Province of Rome, which has been a field for discovering new artists for many years. For this period, Via Margutta becomes an art gallery where more than 1,000 works of art are exhibited, including oil paintings, drawings and watercolors. Among the historical residents of the street were Giulietta Masina, Federico Fellini, Renato Guttuso (painter and politician), Marina Punturieri (writer, actress, director, stylist) and Amerigo Tot (Hungarian sculptor and occasional actor).
