About The Event
Guided tour of the Casino Nobile, the Casina delle Civette and the complex of the Villa Torlonia Park.
The Casino Nobile owes its neoclassical appearance to the intervention of Giuseppe Valadier, followed by that of Giovan Battista Caretti who added the majestic pronaos of the facade. From 1925 to 1943, the Villa was leased to Benito Mussolini, who used it as his private residence.
The Casina delle civette stands out for its originality and mysterious aspect. Conceived in 1839, it was transformed at the beginning of the twentieth century into an eclectic villa, as the residence of Prince Torlonia. Its name is linked to the use of decorative elements inspired by the theme of the owl.
