The Casina delle Civette: Prince Giovanni
Torlonia's main dwelling place until 1938, unique art nouveau structure,
its name refers to a glass window depicting two stylized burrowing owls
("civette") among ivy stalks. Such a 20th century handiwork is one of
the most peculiar and original statements in fine arts.
The Casino Nobile: original grand ballroom of the Torlonias'
residence. It is a magnificient building enriched by an imposing pronaos,
which is fully visible from via Nomentana, Rome's major street.
Porta Pia: designed by Michelangelo, it is popular because of the
artillery-opened breach in the wall, the "breccia", that on September
20, 1870 made an end of the government of the Church, making the Italian
capital out of Rome.
Mausoleo di Santa Costanza: leading statement in Late Antiquity
architecture. Among the earliest surviving Christian patterns with
central layouts. The building still keeps its extraordinary
impressiveness and magic, making it one of the favourite venues for
marriage ceremonies.
Catacombe di Sant'Agnese: catacomb related to martyrdom the young
Agnese suffere, in which Saint Agnes's bones are reputed to rest. Among
the most popular memories of the Christian Age.
