Itinerary
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
Admission Ticket Included
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.
