An Introduction to a Roman Nobildonna

The Italian Connection

Introducing this NEW special luxury guest house located in  the very heart of Rome's historical centre, just a few metres from the Spanish Steps and inside a XIXth century palace built by the roman Marquis Giulio Mereghi. A small relais tucked away and quite unassuming. The property was lovingly restored by the owners, roman architects. They tried with every detail to encapsulate and keep its history and beauty, from the spaces to the frescoed ceilings, the mosaic floors to the furnishings and fabrics. Not only but they have brought together the past and the present aristically and charmingly by naming their suites after prominent Roman noblewomen and then creating one off pieces of artwork per suite which has been done  by the Studiovagante artist collective drawing inspiration from celebrated portraits which can be admired in the most important museums in Rome. The central space, for its part, plays host to four large black-and-white shots in which the photographer Francesco Cascavilla uses four models to interpret the characters of the noblewomen in a contemporary key.
