Villa Torlonia
30 minsAdmission Ticket IncludedThis very unique Villa can be found along the outskirts of central Rome. First established in the 1800s, it was once home to a famous banker who, in 1920 rented the location to Benito Mussolini for only the equivalent of €0.16 per year and was used as the State Residence throughout the Second World War.Casina delle Civette
20 minsAdmission Ticket IncludedIn the fabulous Torlonia park, owned by the last Roman noble family, there is the small and atypical home, that looks just like out of a fairy tale. It’s a true gem of Art Noveau where decorations and art melt perfectly in a dreamy atmosphere. Named after the many owls created with colorful stained glass windows, it is a true encyclopedia of arts and crafts masterpieces and recalls the last time in the modern era when beauty was at one’s fingertips in everyday life.Quartiere Coppede
1 hoursAdmission Ticket FreeQuartiere Coppedè is truly a unique place and very unlike the rest of Rome. Elegant and well decorated small buildings, mixed with open spaces and narrow roads, a neighbourhood that will impress you.
