A bit stupidly I had forgotten to make the last post about my trip to Rome a few days ago where you can already find a post I had published with some monuments I had already visited.

In the morning I visited the Aqueducts Park, a very large city park in Rome that is one of the most important green lungs in the city of Rome.

This is of course a very important place for the Romans where they come to have their picnics, in fact even I at noon I spread a blanket and I started to eat in this place that of course takes its name from the impressive remains of the system of 6 aqueducts that certainly made the city of Rome very famous in history, this also to make you understand that however the Romans care a lot about their monuments.

And as you can see from the photo the place is really busy, and luckily it's big because otherwise you risk not finding a place, but it's not the only big park in Rome.


Then finally in the afternoon before going home I visited another place that I didn't know before and that is probably not so famous in the world but it is still worth visiting for those who come to Rome and it is the casina delle civette, this Swiss hut that was the home of Prince Giovanni Torlonia Jr. until 1938 and it was practically a place where he came to escape from his main residence.

To me, it gave the impression of being in some sort of medieval village. In fact, it was called the villino delle civette (little villa of the owls) because of the stained glass window with two stylised owls, and let's just say that this prince was a bit obsessed with this symbol.

Currently it can be visited as a museum also inside because it has been restored especially after a fire that took place here in 1991 that partly destroyed the whole structure.

In my opinion this is the only example of Art Nouveau structure that exists in Rome because of its large decorated windows that create a very enchanting atmosphere. The only flaw, but you can't do otherwise, is the fact that to get to the first floor you have to climb the stairs and therefore it is not accessible to the disabled.

I hope you found my latest post on Rome very interesting and thank you for taking the time to read it.
