Rome Attraction! A Great Place for Photos! 📸🏰
In the heart of Rome, there's a noble villa, a tranquil park, and a fairy-tale castle, all within the Villa Torlonia Museum complex. This place was once Mussolini's residence and housed a bunker during World War II! As a lesser-known museum, it's not widely recognized among domestic tourists, but if you have enough time in Rome, it's highly recommended for a visit! Reasons to visit: An 18th-century noble villa with exquisite interior decoration, showcasing numerous ancient Roman sculptures, beautifully themed frescoes, and modern oil paintings. If you're interested in the art history of the wartime period, this museum is an excellent choice. The museum covers a vast area, including villas in different architectural styles, medieval ruins, fountains, and theaters. If you're looking for a fairy-tale-like building in Rome to take some beautiful photos, this is the place to be! Introduction: The 18th-century Roman noble Torlonia family purchased a plot of land from the Colonia family and commissioned the renowned architect Giuseppe Valadier to design and build the villa and gardens. Mussolini lived here from 1925 to 1943 for a symbolic rent of 1 lira per year. Transportation: Take bus numbers 90, 66, or 82 from Rome's Termini train station to get there. #Italy #Rome #Museum #Photography #Frescoes #OilPaintings #Mussolini #WorldWarII
