About this activity
Visit: Casina delle Civette, Via Nomentana, 70, Rome Italy

Our itinerary starts in the Quartiere Coppedè, with its many examples of bizarre architecture in the style of late Art Nouveau (called Liberty Style in Italian), and ends at the outlandish Casina delle Civette (House of Owls), in Villa Torlonia, where architecture and decorative elements come together in perfect harmony.

Duration: 1 hour

Visit: Quartiere Coppede, Piazza Mincio Quartiere Trieste, 00198 Rome Italy

In this district, you will enjoy an unusual mix of ancient Greek, ancient Roman, Medieval, Renaissance, Manneristic and Baroque architectural styles, and overall, a mishmash of Art Nouveau created by the Florentine architect and sculptor Coppedè (hence the name of the quartiere) in the early 1900s.

Duration: 1 hour

Visit: Villa Torlonia, Via Nomentana, 70, Rome Italy

Villa Torlonia, which was the residence of Italian dictator Benito Mussolini from 1925 through 1943. With its winding paths and imaginative exotic buildings, it represents one of the few examples of an “English-style” garden in Rome.
