Villa Origo

The New York Times listed it in its famous 36 Hours column as one of the city’s must-see sites. The Museo Nazionale Romano was born in 1889 at the Baths of Diocletian, and has since expanded into four locations: the Baths, Palazzo Massimo, Palazzo Altemps and the Balbi Crypt. The Baths are the largest Roman thermal bath complex. Today this ancient place of wellbeing displays archaeological artifacts and holds the Museum of Roman Written Communication, the Museum of Protohistory of the Latin People and the Digital Museum of the Villa Livia. This is also the place where Michelangelo created the Basilica of St. Mary of the Angels and the Martyrs. Palazzo Altemps, on the other hand, houses the largest Roman aristocratic collections. At Palazzo Massimo, a late 19th-century neo-renaissance building originally built to host the Jesuit Order, you will discover one of the most important collections of classical art in the world. Finally, the Balbi Crypt is a treasure trove of sculptures, frescoes, mosaics, numismatics and artifacts that tell the history, myths and daily life of the time that was.

An exciting journey in one of the most famous restaurants in the world led by culinary experts who know the raw materials they choose just like a scientist would, but who are also acutely aware of the human soul and the emotional functioning of human beings, and are capable of uniting the knowledge of the latter and the former in what industry insiders call neuro-enogastronomy.

Rome is without a doubt the paradise of designer shopping. Its beating heart rotates around the Piazza di Spagna and the streets that cross it, almost two kilometers of shops for all tastes in a spectacular historical and artistic setting. On Via Condotti you will find the major names of Italian fashion and more (Gucci, Ferragamo, Louis Vuitton, Armani, Michael Kors, Jimmy Choo, Tiffany, Cartier, Bulgari, Dior). Via del Babuino and Via Margutta are ideal destinations for art and antique lovers. Your shopping experience will achieve breathtaking heights in Piazza di Spagna, which is why Italian brands like Gucci, Bulgari and Valentino chose to locate their stores near the square. Many more great brands and boutiques in their own right also have shops here. Our Italian/American ambassador Alysa will give you access to Rome’s luxury brands. She will introduce you to less-known designers and boutiques, and help you shop Made in Italy. Clothing, accessories, home furniture, objects and crafts.

This is not an actual neighborhood, but a group of 26 buildings and 17 houses. It is a world inside a world known as Coppedè, a pastiche of stylistic influences that forms the characteristic “neighbourhood” between via Nomentana and via Salaria. A corner of Rome that seems to have a surreal and magical atmosphere. This is due to the variety of architectural styles found in this bizarre and surprising neighborhood. It became famous after the Beatles dove into the Fontana delle Rane in Piazza Mincio after playing a concert at the nearby club Piper. Some feel it is terrifying, including Dario Argento who used it as a location for some of his most iconic horror movies. The neighborhood is shrouded in mystery and has an unsettling aura, perhaps also due to the tragic story of its creator, Gino Coppedè, who died a suicide. Notwithstanding, it is still full of overwhelming emotions and should not go unnoticed.

Ancient Rome, the Middle Ages, the Renaissance and the Baroque. Rome, the city of great Popes and aristocratic patrons, of irreverent, conformist and sycophantic artists.

From the ancient Etruscans, Leonardo da Vinci and Caravaggio to the Raphael Rooms. Become immersed in the stories of artists and Popes, their historical accomplishments and their incredible styles. Then be amazed by one of the most astonishing works of art in human history: Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel.

Koylos. The "womb". And the Mount Celio is the womb. In the intimacy of the Eternal City, in the most secret of the hills. Underground, Nero's "golden house". Above, the Baths of Trajan. Over all, the shadow of the golden Colossus. And the Amphitheater built by the Flavians. Tremendous, huge. The idea of the power of Rome and its "existence" for the people. We leave the window overlooking the Colosseum. We go down, we point with the eye the obelisk of Ozymandias, that from Ramses II was remedied by Sixtus V to the Savior. In the apse of the church of Quattro Coronati, we enter the Gothic Hall, the only complete pictorial cycle of this art in Rome. We climb to Villa Celimontana, entering the Casino of the Villa Mattei di Giove, where Filippo Neri created the tradition of the pilgrimage in Rome. From here, towards the Antiquarium Comunale with the remains of the monuments found during the great demolitions of Fascism, we descend into the valley of the Colosseum, enter the arena, and then look at the Seven Halls of the Baths of Trajan. But then, it's back in the womb. A small door, narrow on the street. A spiral staircase. And we are among the decorations in shells and limestone of the Nymphaeum of the Annibaldi.
