Casina Valadier — wedding venue in Rome
Architect Giuseppe Valadier, who also designed the layout of Piazza del Popolo, created this neoclassical villa between 1816 and 1837 as part of his vision for the Pincian Hill and Villa Borghese park. The building has served various purposes over the centuries, always occupying its privileged position overlooking Rome.
The complete restoration of Casina Valadier returned the building to its original splendour — frescoes, decorative details, and proportions that reflect the ambition of its architect and the grandeur of the Eternal City that surrounds it.
