Villino Corsini

The Villino Corsini is an elegant eighteenth-century building of the Villa Corsini, purchased in 1856 by Prince Filippo Andrea V Doria Pamphilj and annexed to the large villa outside Porta S. Pancrazio. The building was restored by the architect Andrea Busiri Vici in 1866-69 to become the home of the family's eldest son. Renovated again in 1894, it is characterised by an eclectic style, with refined external finishes in Malta stone and red curtain, doors and other interior furnishings in fine materials; it rests partially on ancient structures. The design of the elevation was defined by Prince Pamphilj as being "in the style of those beyond the Alps", following an inspiration linked to the Anglo-Saxon and Central European world.
