The Villino Macchi di Cellere is located on the corner of the Viale Giulio Cesare and the Via Marcantonio Colonna in the Prati district in Rome. It is named after the diplomat who commissioned its construction, Vincenzo Macchi di Cellere.
A brief history of the Villino Macchi di Cellere in Rome
As indicated on the facade, the Villino Macchi di Cellere was constructed in 1904. The architect was Garibaldi Burba, who was originally from Vicenza, but did most of his work in Rome, where he died in 1925.
The villino initially consisted of two parts, one facing Via Giulio Cesare and the other one facing Via Colonna. The Via Colonna side was topped by a square tower. A fourth floor was added later.
The building used to be covered with murals, but these have since disappeared.
Art-nouveau influences are visible in the cast-iron gate and in the multicolored windows.
