Just a few steps from Palazzo delle Pietre, Via delle Coppelle opens into the charming Piazzetta delle Coppelle where La Corte sits, a small building from the early 1900s that was completely renovated by the Mazzi family in 2022. Thanks to its tapered trapezoid shape the house, which is located between Vicolo della Vaccarella and Via degli Spagnoli, it really seems like a miniature version of New York’s renowned Flatiron Building.
La Corte’s renovation was carried out with the same attention to conservation and restoration which characterise the works carried out at the Palazzo. This process translates into elegant and refined spaces which, together with superb Made in Italy furnishings, create a stylish yet comfortable setting. In addition, thanks to the precious support of Tuscan craftsmen, blacksmiths, carvers, and carpenters, as well as Milanese upholsterer Petriccioni di Vadi, with his sophisticated fabrics for curtains and cushions, the owners were able to replicate the refined elegance of the rooms of Palazzo delle Pietre.
Carlo Mazzi has also donated part of his precious stone collection to La Corte: fragments of sculptures from the Renaissance period and Imperial Rome decorate the apartments and common areas, while some walls have been adorned with multicoloured ancient marbles from the Roman era, often from quarries that no longer exist.
Right in the centre of the Eternal City, where the stately buildings represent the purest essence of Roman history, Palazzo delle Pietre is perfectly positioned for visitors to discover the famous sites and monuments of Rome. A few steps from Via delle Coppelle, Piazza della Rotonda opens up to one of the city’s symbols, the iconic Pantheon, which, with its impressive architecture, has deep roots in the city. This splendid residence is just as close to the famous Piazza Navona, with its elegant buildings and another icon, the Trevi Fountain, and its breath-taking view through the narrow streets of the ancient city centre. Then, wander from via Monferrato to via Condotti, from the Spanish Steps to Via del Babuino to discover the exclusive boutiques, in a heady atmosphere so full of Italian Dolce Vita and contemporary Italian culture and life.
One of the greatest expressions of Roman glory, the Pantheon, dates to 125 AD when it was built at the request of Emperor Hadrian. It is the best conserved building from Imperial Rome as it was transformed into a church; it was declared a national monument in 1870 by the King of Italy and restored.
A gem of the Baroque era, Piazza Navona today is a stunning city square bordered by the buildings that gradually arose on the remains of the ancient Diocletian Stadium. The square boasts the famous three fountains: the Moor Fountain, the Fountain of Four Rivers, and the Neptune Fountain. In its centre stands the unforgettable Fountain of the Four Rivers, by Gian Lorenzo Bernini.
The end point of the ancient Virgin Aqueduct, the Trevi Fountain is a masterpiece where water cascades down, melding in with the marble sculpture. It was built in the 18th Century upon the request of Pope Clement XII based on a design by architect Nicola Salvi. The fountain’s name has two possible origins; either it references the meeting of three streets in the square or the three streams of water flowing into the fountain basin.
The unforgettable Campo de’Fiori square enshrines authentic Rome, with its elegant buildings and the lively atmosphere of the traditional market. The only monumental square in the historic city centre without a church, its name, “field of flowers” owes to its origins as a meadow in the Middle Ages.
Each apartment has a kitchen, so dining is DIY here (or DIABAR: ditch it and book a restaurant). Or, you can ask for a private chef to take the reins. On request groceries can be delivered and Deliveroos brought to your door.
You’ll get a bottle of wine from the palazzo’s cellar to welcome you on arrival, and the concierge can certainly help you acquire more. And, if you do a recce of Rome’s enotecas, your kitchen comes with a corkscrew.
