Modern History: During the Fascist period, many deputies of the opposition retired on this hill after the murder of Giacomo Matteotti (the leader), here ending the "Aventine Secession.” The hill is now an elegant residential part of Rome with a ton of architectural interest. But even more modern is that the skull of St. Valentine is on this hill. Also it has the most sophisticated/ impressive artwork and structures in the world.
