After a short ride from the city center, you will arrive at Villa Torlonia accompanied by an expert and entertaining guide that will lead you through this stunning neoclassical complex. Small lakes, exotic plants, columns, obelisks, a tournament area, a medieval village, and the Casina delle Civette which plays host to a stained glass museum are part of this wide itinerary.

During the twenty years of fascism, Villa Torlonia was the private residence of Benito Mussolini and his family and it was used for both political meetings as well as a place where it was possible to practice sports such as tennis and riding. You will also visit the so-called Casina delle Civette-the residence of Prince Giovanni Torlonia until his death in the 1930s. Today this ‘little’ house is a museum with 20 rooms full of paintings, mosaics, colorful stained glass windows, and porches decorated with maiolica.

Also, you will visit the Casino Nobile, renovated by the architect Giuseppe Valadier, decorated with stunning paintings and stuccoes, which houses an impressive collection of sculptures. End with a stroll through the remarkable Coppedè quarter, an Art Nouveau gem in the heart of Rome designed by the architect Gino Coppedè.
