Eternal city

Not far from Ada Home is located Villa Ada, one of the green lungs of the Capital with its entrances in Via Salaria and Via Panama. Although the major interventions were commissioned by the Savoia family, the current layout of the villa is the result of the accommodations made in the eighteenth century, when it was used not only for agricultural purposes, but also as a place of entertainment and representation. Villa Ada is an ideal place to have a picnic with friends on a sunny day, to walk alone, jog or work out in the area equipped for sports. The access to via Panama, then, offers the opportunity to visit the wildest part of the villa, from which starts a wooded area characterized by extensive patches of pine trees, holm oaks, laurels and chestnut trees and populated by squirrels, hedgehogs, wild rabbits and large communities of birds that have found their habitat in this park.

A few steps away from Ada Home there is also Villa Borghese with its famous Gardens, the suggestive fountains and the peculiar monuments. The park boasts no less than nine entrances, the most frequented of which are: that of Porta Pinciana, the one of Trinità dei Monti staircase, that of the Pincio staircase, which overlooks Piazza del Popolo, and, finally, the monumental entrance of Piazzale Flaminio with its neoclassical propylaea. The Villa is equipped with facilities for leisure and cultural diffusion. Interesting buildings are, for example, the Pietro Canonica Museum, that is the house-museum of the sculptor Pietro Canonica; the Casina di Raffaello, which offers many recreational-educational workshops for children and young people; the Casa del Cinema, also known as the Casina delle Rose, a cultural institute entirely dedicated to the seventh art; the illustrious zoological garden, recently converted into a Biopark; the historic Aranciera della Villa, now home to the Carlo Bilotti Museum, which houses numerous works of contemporary art. Near Piazza di Siena there is the Silvano Toti Globe Theater, a large circular theatrical pavilion, modelled on the Elizabethan theatres, which every summer stages the most beautiful works of Shakespeare. The Galleria Borghese museum houses one of the most beautiful collections of artworks in Europe, including ancient mosaics, bas-reliefs, sculptures and paintings dating from the 15th to the 18th century. The collection, started by Cardinal Scipione Caffarelli Borghese at the beginning of the 17th century, preserves masterpieces by Antonello da Messina, Giovanni Bellini, Raffaello Sanzio, Tiziano, Correggio, Caravaggio and famous sculptures by Gian Lorenzo Bernini and Antonio Canova.

Also near Ada Home, located precisely between Via Salaria and Via Nomentana is the Coppedè Quarter, composed of eighteen palaces and twenty-seven buildings. This district has become famous for its eclectic architectural style in which the Art Nouveau and Art Deco styles blend perfectly, with references to Greek, Gothic, Baroque and medieval art. The entrance to the district is bounded by an arch that joins the Ambassadors’ palaces and from which hangs a large wrought iron chandelier. The arch was designed by Gino Coppedè, the multifaceted architect from whom the area takes its name. The Fountain of Frogs, built in 1924 and located in the center of Piazza Mincio, is so called because of the numerous stone frogs that make it an ornament. The installation is also known for the bathroom that the Beatles are said to have made there after a concert held in 1965 at the Piper, a famous Roman disco in the immediate vicinity of the district. Among the buildings, the most important are: the Palazzina del Ragno, which follows the AssyrianBabylonian style and recognizable by the large spider on the facade; the Villino delle Fate, famous for its asymmetrical structure and the variety of materials it is made of, including marble, brick, travertine, terracotta and glass. Due to its architectural peculiarities, the Coppedè Quarter was chosen by Italian director Dario Argento as the setting for some parts of his films Inferno and L’uccello dalle piume di cristallo.
