Quiet, great for picnic.

Two of the exits of this garden have been blocked, which makes it enjoyable to visit but not too pass through.
Great open air jazz Bonanzana with live bands and plenty dancing runs June to the end of August every year! Food and Bar available :)
Used to be a great location, big international names and scene, now not sure if it’s a temporary setup and covid killed the scene and vibe it…seemed a little washed out and untrendy. If it wasn’t for the love of Music….
I accidentally arrived there with my lovely girlfriend because I trusted her to guide us to the Basilic Santa Maria. Turns out it was the wrong one but I won't blame her. The park was a very nice surprise and very calm. You will not be able to access the Basilic at the entrance of the park.
Please note that all of the statues have been beheaded

For the majority of my last two months in Rome I've ventured out here on either Saturday or a Sunday for their summer concerts. Starting around 1 pm on weekends, the stage ws occupied by a variety of singers and bands from Jazz, to 30's music, to Italian songs and good old Rock n roll. Plenty of seating with shade, a bar where you could order a pizza or a hamburger and a drink for 15 Euros and listen to an hour and a half of live music from some time in June all the way to mid September. They had bands at night on weekends as well but I couldn't make it to any of those. There is a park like grounds with benches and shade as well. The entrance is free. Check out the Saint Stefano rotundo church across the street on your wya out.
