Casino dei principi, Historical palazzo in Villa Torlonia, Rome, Italy
The Casino dei Principi features marble portals with ancient columns, cast iron vases, and decorative friezes depicting the Triumph of Alexander in Babylon.
Giovanni Battista Caretti transformed the original modest building into a neo-16th-century structure between 1835 and 1840, following Alessandro Torlonia's commission.
The building now houses the Archive of the Roman School, containing extensive documentation about artistic movements from the interwar period in Rome.
The Casino opens exclusively during exhibition periods, with visitors requiring advance booking through the official Villa Torlonia museum system website.
Four winged sphinxes, created by Clemente Massimi and Girolamo Sartorio, guard the entrance after being relocated from their original position at Villa Torlonia.
