The Coppedè neighborhood features unique architecture a world away from the rest of the city. The area takes its name from the architect Gino Coppedè who began the project in 1915 and left it unfinished when he died in 1927. With a combination of architectural styles and detailed decoration, the buildings of Coppedè’s neighbourhood recall Gaudì’s fantastic houses in Barcelona.

In central Rome, just a stone’s throw from the old city centre, we find one of the most characteristic of the city’s quartieri or boroughs. Actually it is not a quartiere at all, in the true sense of the word; it is, however, a corner of Rome which is most surprising for its bizarre architecture – an amazing hotchpotch of Liberty (or Italian Art Nouveau) and Art Deco works, with Greek, Gothic, Baroque and even Medieval influences. This is quartiere Coppedè, a complex located between the two streets, Via Salaria and Via Nomentana, consisting in 26 small palazzos and 17 villini or detached buildings.
