The lungotevere is dedicated to the Genoese actor and director Vittorio Gassman, born in 1922, who moved as a young man in Rome and died there in 2000; it was established and named by resolution of the City Council of 29 December 2006.[2] Previously the Lungotevere took its name from the noble Papareschi (also de Papa or Paparoni) Roman medieval family.[3]
