Lungotevere De' Cenci is the stretch of Lungotevere that connects Ponte Garibaldi to the Ponte Fabricio, in Rome, in the rioni Sant'Angelo and Regola.[1]

The lungotevere seen from Tiber Island

The lungotevere is named after the family of the Cenci, protagonist of a tragic story of Renaissance Rome.

It is located between the Capitoline hill and the Tiber Island; among its main landmarks, there are the modern Synagogue of Rome, to which is attached the museum of the Jewish community of Rome; at the corner of Via del Tempio lies the Villino Astengo, built in 1914 in Art Nouveau style. Its designer was Ezio Garroni, the villino's decorations are by Giuseppe Zina.
