Description
Villa dei Quintili
State property only since 1986, the Villa dei Quintili was the largest and most sumptuous residence of the Roman “suburbium”. The original nucleus belonged to the Quintili brothers, consuls in 151 A.D., and was enlarged when the villa became imperial property under the emperor Commodus who loved living here for the peaceful countryside and the villa’s thermal baths. The villa extends between the Via Appia Antica and the Via Appia Nuova and was built around a large square. The most impressive construction nucleus is formed by the rooms for the masters and servants: a circular building, a series of rooms and the two large bath quarters called “calidarium” and “frigidarium”, fourteen metres high with large windows and polychrome marble. The monumental complex is terraced over the Roman countryside and offers a panorama that through time has inspired many famous artists.
Santa Maria Nova
On 27th September 2013 has been opened the Giardino dei Patriarchi, a very special garden made up of the "twins" of many monumental trees of Italy.
