Are you into hidden gems? Do you want to discover something modern and stunning with an architect? Coppedé and a stroll in Villa Torlonia are the answer! We are talking about eclectic architectures from the '20's that have many stories to tell. Coppedé is not a proper neighborhood. It's roughly 40 buildings, a few streets, one square and one fountain, so far too small to be defined as a district. This being said, it's huge in its fairytale potential, and rich in decorations and little details. Together we will unveil uncountable symbols of this neighborhood from the 20s, that happens to get its name from its creative architect. Villa Torlonia, on the other hand, is a stunning green area nearby. Its buildings stretch from the 1800 to the half of 1900: the most unique one is "Casina delle Civette" (The House of the Owls). These masterpieces will bring you inside a fairtytale! During the busy Jubilee Year in Rome, do yourself a favor and explore quiet areas!
-We will start our tour meeting in front of "Arco dei Palazzi degli Ambasciatori", the monumental entrance to Coppedé. -We will then begin exploring Coppedé district. Starting from the Fountain of the Frogs, we'll discover the best of the neighborhood: ·Villa of the Fairies ·Villa of the Spider ·Villino Cabiria. Most of them are private houses, embassies or studios. -Afterwards, we will reach Villa Torlonia park, a relaxing green area where mostly only the locals go. -Walking by the park, we will come across other eclectic hidden gems to admire by the outside: "Casina delle Civette" (The House of the Owls) and the Moorish Greenhouse. -We will see neoclassical buildings too, including the so-called Casino Nobile -where Mussolini used to live- and the temple of Saturn, that draws inspiration from ancient Rome. -At the end of the tour, if you wish, you could enjoy a tasty lemonade in the park! This itinerary can be customized to best meet your preferences.
