Beyond the usual destinations, with an excellent ratio quality/time.

In a city, you do not enjoy the seven or seventy wonders, but the answer it gives to your question.
Italo Calvino

Casa Visconti is in a strategic location, in the heart of the elegant and cosmopolitan Prati area, with its palaces and houses in the Umbertine and Liberty style and a delicious taste of the most authentic Roman atmosphere.

From here, through a pleasant walk, you can easily reach by foot, or with public services, the most charming places of the city, ensuring a comfortable and full of emotional satisfaction stay.

Where to meet your wishes and ride your dreams.

A lively and high class shopping district during the day, Prati displays exclusive attractions in the evening, with the opening of wine bars, where to enjoy an aperitif, and excellent pizza places, where to taste many specialties, and fine restaurants, tempting the palate with culinary fantasies, leaving a mark in your memory thanks to their pleasant atmospheres.

The area offers a wide selection of cultural events.

Music lovers, in fact, are goers of the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia, one of the oldest Institutions in the world for classical music, founded in 1585, and of the Alexander Jazz Club, or of the Fonclea, historically known for Rock’n Blues concerts. Finally, The Place, is considered in Rome "the soul of live music". For young people many places where to have fun and spend pleasant evenings.

A few steps from the residence, many movie theaters provide shows suitable for adults and children (as Cinema Adriano, in the nearby Piazza Cavour, built as a theater at the end of '800, with 10 viewing rooms). But there is also a good selection for film experts at Azzurro Scipioni and Il Labirinto.

For those who prefer the stage, a little bit further away, on Via delle Fornaci, there is the Ghione, one of the historic theaters of Rome, with a program suitable for all ages.

Even sports fans can find nearby gyms and associations where to practice yoga, pilates and martial arts.

Beyond the passage of time.

Just turn your eyes and all around it's the Eternal City. Eternal is its own history, its hidden corners, eyes of people who embody its past.

Imposing monuments next to small artisan shops, ancient cobblers, marked by aging newsagent observing the world passing before his look every morning, when the city wakes up enveloped by silence, whispering: "Look at me, but also live me."

And those eyes tell of experiences, of the alleys where you stumble encountering an uncontrollable emotion, because Rome also makes these jokes, making fun of tourists and locals with its endless surprises: it begins at the moment you arrive, and then never ends. Because its taste, its warm colors, the history that characterizes it, inevitably leave a mark, indelible.

Visit the monuments is not just plunge into the most significant pages of art history and to experience them from within, but also the way to know anecdotes, stories, to become connoisseurs of curiosity approaching to history, that make us part of the history, through intense images, such as the one of Roman people who defended Castel Sant'Angelo from barbarian troops using fragments of ornamental statues of the monument, or the Archangel Michael's apparition, on the Mausoleum of Hadrian, to tell the pope that the plague was over, or even the coronation of the Frankish king, Charlemagne, on Christmas Eve in the year 800 in St. Peter's Basilica.

All this echoes into the ether at every step, is told from every cobblestone of this enchanted city, and it is true, taking a cue from the title of a beautiful book of Negro Silvio, that this is the Eternal City, because "Roma non basta una vita - Rome, a lifetime is not enough".

Beyond the visible.

The charm of Rome is not only made of big squares or famous monuments: there are many secret locations known only to the most sensitive customers, looking for something exclusive.

Walking through the streets of this wonderful city, affected by visual, auditory and sensory sensations, you are oblivious to the fact that secret corners are waiting for your steps.

A different Rome lives underground: hiding places, safety lodges, secret passages, unknown squares, breathtaking views.

A Rome whispering to passers-by that there is still much more than this to see and to discover.

Truths that no one will ever fully know, but that always contribute to its magic atmosphere, even on the surface, and to the mystery surrounding who's crossing it. And can't forget.

At Casa Visconti you can request information for diving in this extraordinary hidden universe.

Beyond the tourist circuit.

Rome, a city in full swing, a passage of people and languages, which are intertwined in an original pantomime of visual, bodily and musical interpretations, expressed in the places of culture, in the exhibition halls of the amazing museum complexes, into Auditorium and MAXXI’s architectural forms, in industrial structures, on the roads.

A full year of events for every enthusiast and connoisseur, valid reasons for thinking a trip that combines knowledge of the Eternal City and cultural stimulation.

Wrap themselves in a June evening by the most beautiful words ever written, performed by actors and accompanied by musicians of international fame into the breathtaking scenery of Maxentius at the Festival of Literature, live the transformation of the industrial structure of an old slaughterhouse in the modern fitting of Photography Festival in September to the Pelanda, getting hit from the spotlight in the sets that hosted the most important actors and directors in the world, during the Rome Cinema's Festival in October.

And again stimulations, incessant during the nights of the Estate Romana, flavored with barrels in the Rome Wine Festival, enveloping at the Roma Europa Festival, dynamic with the International Tennis, 6 Nations, Rome Marathon, the Golden Gala athletics.

It is here that it is worth making contact with their own desires, because Rome knows how to fulfill them.

Beyond the five senses.

A simple tradition, the Roman cuisine, representative of low-income people, excluded from the banquets and the privileges of aristocrats and Papal Rome.

Simple dishes made from the recovery of the ingredients which have become famous throughout the world thanks to the Italian Cinema of the 50s and 60s.

Spaghetti alla carbonara, the amatriciana, tripe, oxtail, you can find many trattorias where to meet not only the tastes but also the ways and approaches of the Romans, their spontaneity and theatricality that makes every encounter an experience, a trailer, a spectacle to be enjoyed with all five senses, none excluded.

Over the years, local companies have turned this simplicity into a value added, focusing on creating high quality products, improving communication and packaging, with satisfactory results that are making the Lazio region competitive, thanks to its genuine ingredients.

The oil of Sabina, the wine of the Castelli Romani, cheese as the pecorino and cold cuts of quality - which can be found, for example, to Eataly (www.eataly.net), these products are the basis for new creations, combinations, new ways to present Lazio's modern concept.

But Rome, curious and passionate city, loves to be in movement: never ceases to innovate, to dare, to ask something more to itself, to offer a huge selection of culinary solutions, as the taste of a pizza cooked in an old wood stove, or the mixing of unusual spices of the innovative gastronomy, or the exotic varieties of international cuisine.

In a few bars you can go from a drink at the dreamlike Piazza di Pietra, behind the Pantheon, to a Jewish-style artichoke in the Jewish Ghetto, with the breathtaking scenery of the Teatro Marcello, and only to end up with a traditional sweet in hot alleys of Trastevere. This is Rome.

In every corner, regional cuisine, unproven, offers you new and exciting experiences, a symbol of the creativity of a country that knows how to match Pane, Amore e Fantasia.
