The Casina Valadier , located in the heart of Villa Borghese, is the jewel of the Pincio (Collis Hortulorum) where, since ancient times, numerous and important families of Ancient Rome had their villas and gardens. It is one of the most fascinating places of the Capital, a step away from Trinità dei Monti and Piazza del Popolo, this is one of the favorite destinations of the Romans and tourists from all over the world who, immersed in the greenery of the park between history and art, can admire a marvelous panorama of the city of Rome. The Casina was modeled in a neoclassical style with a cubic body, against which an exedra with an Ionic colonnade was placed. Inside there are extraordinarily decorated rooms in Pompeian style whose beautiful frescos have recently been restored and restored to their original splendor.Casina Valadier was built by the famous Roman architect and urban planner Giuseppe Valadier between 1816 and 1837, at the time engaged in the reorganization of the Pincio and Piazza del Popolo. He reworked the Casino Della Rota in a neoclassical style, a seventeenth-century building built in turn on the remains of an ancient Roman cistern. La Casina was designed to house a place of refreshment on the model of French bistros, becoming, in the period that goes from the Kingdom of Italy at the end of the nineteenth century until the first post-war period, one of the most frequented places in Rome by members of the world of culture, art and politics. During the Second World War the building was used by the German military before and by then British army, which made it a circle for their officers. After World War II, Casina Valadier experienced another period of intense frequentation and celebrity.
After a brief period of closure, at the beginning of the 2000s, Casina Valadier was completely restored and, with great wonder, a fabulous structure was returned to the public unchanged in its eternal charm and style.
