Tucked between the Capitol and Palatine Hill, this apartment occupies a 17th-century palazzo where hand-painted frescoed ceilings arch over every room – including the kitchen. Over 250 square metres of travertine terraces look out across Piazza Venezia to the Altare della Patria, and as night falls, the views take on a different kind of drama.

About The Jewish Quarter

The Ghetto of Rome was witness to some of the worst excesses of anti-semitism of the last 500 years.
