Musei di Villa Torlonia Rome

Musei di Villa Torlonia, a collection of magnificent museums, comprises restored 19th-century villas packed with a great collection of artworks and the private possessions of Rome's nobility. The magnificent structures (Casino Nobile, Casina Delle Civette, Casino dei Principi, the Serra Moresca), ornate interiors, and the original English landscape garden give them a unique charm, making them a popular attraction in Rome. 

The Casino Nobile is filled with a plethora of ornamental pieces created by the most well-known artists of the time, including Bertel, Francesco, and Luigi Fioroni. It is a remarkable illustration of wealth and magnificence that reflects the artistic culture of the period. It houses the Museum of the Villa in the first- and second-floor rooms, while the false Etruscan tomb and renovated bunkers are displayed in the basement. The second floor also houses the Museum of the Roman School and exhibits a valuable collection of paintings, sculptures, and drawings. 

The Casina delle Civette is devoted to artistic stained glass, the Casino dei Principi stores the archives and stages temporary exhibitions, and the Serra is a marvel of polychrome glass, iron, and cast iron. A trip to the museum complex transports you back in time while winding through a historical beautifully landscaped garden and leaves you spellbound.
