Casino Nobile di Villa Torlonia
Casino Nobile di Villa Torlonia, Museum of modern art in Nomentano district, Rome, Italy
Casino Nobile di Villa Torlonia is a palace building within a larger estate, adorned with elegant rooms featuring mirrors, stucco decorations, and paintings by Domenico Del Frate throughout its interior spaces. The structure contains multiple floors housing art collections and archaeological exhibits from different periods.
Architect Giuseppe Valadier rebuilt the structure between 1802 and 1806, adding new porticoes and terraces to the original eighteenth-century design. The property underwent significant changes through various owners and uses during the following century.
The second floor houses the Museo della Scuola Romana, displaying works from the twentieth-century Roman art movement known as Scuola di Via Cavour. The collection reveals how Roman artists of that period navigated between tradition and innovation.
The building is open most weekdays, and visitors can purchase combined tickets to explore multiple structures on the estate. It is helpful to allow time for several floors and different exhibition areas.
Two underground bunkers were constructed beneath the building during 1925 to 1943 as protective shelters against bombing and gas attacks. These hidden structures remain partially accessible to visitors today and reveal a darker chapter in Italian history.
