Via delle Fornaci is located in the Aurelio neighbourhood, on the western side of the city, close to the Vatican and the Aurelian Walls.

The neighbourhood is within walking distance from major places of interest, including the Vatican. The Aurelio neighbourhood is still very authentic where local residents mingle with tourists, professionals, students and workers. Nearby are also via Cola di Rienzo, the shopping street with boutiques, bars and restaurants, the Zodiac, which offers a splendid view of Rome while enjoying renowned ice cream and tasty cocktails, and the Trionfale market, the first local Roman market, one of the largest in Italy and even in Europe.

For sports lovers, at the foot of Monte Mario, is the Stadio dei Marmi with 60 statues of athletes donated by the Italian provinces.
