Mamma Roma (Anna Magnani) lives in an apartment in the so-called “Railworkers’ building” in piazza Tommaso de Cristoforis in the Casalbertone neighbourhood of Rome. When her pimp’s wedding means she can finally change lifestyle, she gets her son Ettore, who has grown up in Guidonia unaware of his family, and moves with him to a new apartment that the boy identifies as via Calpurnio Fiamma 47, although the exteriors are of via dei Treviri 47, a few hundred metres away in the Quadraro neighbourhood. The omnipresent cupola of the Basilica di San Giovanni Bosco identifies the new neighbourhood where Mamma Roma and Ettore live. He goes to the Parco degli Acquedotti with some new friends: the ruins of Villa delle Vignacce, one of the biggest suburban villas of Ancient Rome, appear in the scene where the boy tries to catch the attention of some girls in the park. In the meantime, his mother earns a living with a stall in the produce market of Lucio Sestio.
