Roma – Casina Valadier

Roma - RM - Lazio

INFO

The Casina Valadier is located on the highest point of the Pincio (ROME – LAZIO). It was built between 1816 and 1837 by Giuseppe Valadier, well-known Roman architect and city planner. It was originally designed as a meeting-place but it was only after World War I that the Casina became the “most fashionable” gathering place in Rome for artists, intellectuals and statesmen from all over the world. The guest book of the Casina Valadier contains the signatures of famous men such as Gandhi, King Farouk, Pirandello and many others.

PROJECT

• Honed 30x30 cm square tiles were furnished for the flooring
• Rough bricks were used in the gardens, which faithfully reproduced Valadier’s original plan.
