Roseto Comunale. by melissa_belLeave a Comment

Casina Valadier is located here in this Piazza on the Pincio hill. But this Villa Borghese area with its many busts should be a destination unto its own. It is also located beside one of the most spectacular vistas overlooking Piazza Popolo. Because the Pincio was decorated with busts of famous Italians, many busts were added in the new alley to smooth the transition between the two gardens. These busts constitute a nightmare for the maintenance of the park as their noses are a prime target of vandals.

Villa Borghese is my very favorite hideaway in Rome - there are countless littles coves, niches, and pathways to be discovered. Here are a few photos of spring blooming in the park. We just posted a travelogue on Villa Borghese and really need a second one - could never give it all the space it deserves.

Park was the residence to the italian royal family from 1872 to 1878 and then from 1904 to 1946. There you can enjoy on the bench and the sunshine and watch who is passing. Today this park is famouse for world music festival "Roma Incontra Il Mondo". Leave a Comment

Another very recent addition to the facilities of the Villa is a balloon, showing the decoration of the first balloons used by the Montgolfier brothers in 1783. A safety cable ensures the balloon does not move from its mooring site.
Will pick up a schedule and post rates and more details soon. Click the photo for the full photo view****

 What could be more beautiful
than a rose garden? by craic, 4 more photos
I was lucky - I got in a few days before it was open to the public because of an amico of an amico - plus I got a bit of a guided tour.
I recognised Peace - which used to be called Madame de Meilland I believe, when it was developed in 1945 - then the war ended so it was renamed Peace.
But in Italy it is called Joy - Gioia.
I don't know if it costs anything - sorry - but I do know it was a Jewish cemetery for a long long time - then the land was presented to the city (I think the dead were re buried somewhere else) and the garden is laid out like a menorah.
It was just what I needed after a few months in Rome.
There is a famous rose garden in Werribbee just out of Melbourne that I have been to - and I was so stoked and so homesick when the Werribbee garden was mentioned.
I also really liked the small bed of the original roses Romans got their rose petals from.
It became such a thing to shower people with rose petals that useful vineyards and olive groves were ripped out to grow the roses for the display of luxury and excess.
The whole spectacle - looking out over Circo Massimo where I saw the World Cup Final (Italy won) was very telling. Leave a Comment

 The Pincio by rexvaughanLeave a Comment

Villa Pamphili Park is the most expansive park of Rome with the perimeter of 9km.
Founded in 1630 for Pamphilius Pamphili, but a pivotal moment in the development and extension of it was between 1644 and 1652. Two artists from Bolonia, A. Algardi and G.F. Grimaldi, created the villa's palace, called "Casino dell'Allegrezza" (House of Mirth), a beautiful and impressive example of Baroque architectural masterpiece. Now it is a residence of the Chair of the Cabinet.
The villa was purchased by the Italian State in 1957 and the city of Rome in 1965-71, thus it is open to public and it is a favorite Roman place of rest, picnic and sport.
