Villa Massimo, German cultural institution in Nomentano, Rome, Italy.

Villa Massimo functions as a residence for German artists, featuring a main building and ten individual studios within three hectares of parkland.

Eduard Arnhold purchased the property from the Massimo family in 1910 and donated the completed villa complex to the Prussian state in 1913.

The institution awards the Rome Prize annually to nine German artists, allowing them to develop their work during a ten-month stay in Rome.

The Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and Media manages the selection process for residencies, which include accommodations and studio space.

The villa served as an officers' club during World War II and later transformed into a center for Italian avant-garde artists.
