	Aventine Hill
		The Aventine Hill in Rome is one of the famous Seven Hills of Rome and has been inhabited since Republican times.
		In the days of the Emperors, it housed a cosmopolitan population of workers from the nearby river port.
		The Aventino is now a quiet residential neighborhood, far removed from the bustle of the traffic along the roads at the foot of the hill.

	Rome - ninemsn Encarta
		According to tradition, Rome was founded in 753 bc on one of the Seven Hills—a term used for centuries to describe the Capitoline, Quirinal, Viminal, Esquiline, Caelian, Aventine, and Palatine hills surrounding the old community.
		The Capitoline Hill was long the seat of Rome's government, and the Palatine Hill was the site of such great buildings as the Palace of the Flavians, built by the Roman Emperor Domitian.
		As a result of construction through the centuries, most of the Seven Hills are now hardly distinguishable from the adjacent plain.

Angelo.

		Because the metro stop is on the opposite side of the hill from the keyhole, I don't think that is the best way to get there.
		A nice route would be to start at the church of Santa Maria in Cosmedin to see the Bocca di Verita and the lovley mosaic floor inside the church, then cross the street taking Via della Greca to via Clivo dei Publici.
		This curves up the hill past the church of Santa Sabina which is well worth a stop.
