1) Villa Torlonia

This park is right on the other side of Via Nomentana, very close to our house. Initially it belonged to the Torlonia family, and later the villa became Benito Mussolini’s residence, who lived here for 20 years with his family.

Now it is a wonderful public park with many different buildings and museums in it.

If the sun is out, make sure to step by and lay in the green grass, have a walk, visit some of the museums or enjoy an aperitivo in the bar inside the park (La Limonaia).

Or, if you like jogging, why not go for a run in a roman park right next to your house?

1) Villa Torlonia - La Serra Moresca

One of the sites worth a visit inside Villa Torlonia is this “greenhouse”. You will notice a very peculiar architecture, enriched by this colorful windows. This building in fact was commisioned by A.Torlonia to host all kind of exotic plants inside.

1) Villa Torlonia-Casina

Another building worth a visit is this “swiss chalet” inside the villa. It is another eclectic building you will see walking through the park, and if you are willing to go inside you will visit the museum of Liberty (the italian name for Art Nouveau) Windows. You will appreciate the peculiar pavements of the interior spaces of this complex, and they will remind you of the ones in our house(they are in fact of the same historic period)!

2) Villa Ada

If you like a more naturalistic and wild park, Villa Ada will do for you. This was the king’s residence, and now it is a huge green park where many roman people hang out during the nice season. Going for a run, or a walk or a pic nic in this park is a lovely experience and you won’t feel in the caos of Rome for a while.

2) Villa Ada - Festival

During summer this huge park hosts a very nice musical festival. The ticket usually is around 30 euros, and you can get the chance to attend concerts of international or italian famous artists, in the extraordinary location of this roman park, very close to our house.

3) Villa Borghese

This is for sure the most famous park in Rome. You can reach it with a 20 minutes walk from our house, and walking through it you will end up on the wonderful Belvedere del Pincio with a wide view of the city. Moving on, with a few more minutes you will find yourself dirctly on the Spanish Steps, therefore I highly recommend to take some time to enjoy this pleasant walk towards the city center.

2)Mausoleo di Santa Costanza

This mausoluem was built in 340 a.C. on the will of Costantina, daughter of the roman emperor Costantino. She was devoted to Santa Agnese, and wanted to be buried right next the church dedicated to her. Later on, this mausoleum would become a baptistery and a church.

Today the complex is open to public and it is an incredible example of paleochristian architecture very well conserved. Inside it is still possible to see ancient

3)Villa Borghese-Galleria

In my opinion, this is one of the best museums in Rome. Here you can get the chance to see many works by Gian Lorenzo Bernini, Antonio Canova, Caravaggio, Raffaello, Perugino, Pieter Paul Rubens, Bellini, Tiziano. In particular, if you like sculptures this museum will do for you. The only problem it that usually it requires an early booking, so check out on the website if there are still places left for the days of your stay.
