Discovering a different side of Rome or rediscovering places we already knew by observing them in a new light: the FAI - Fondo Ambiente Italiano’s delegation of Rome welcomes all art lovers on Saturday 29 February at the House of the Knights of Rhodes, a rare and little known architectural treasure.
A team made of FAI volunteers will accompany the visitors (with no admission fees) inside the large complex, built on the ruins of a portion of the Forum of Augustus. It’s a journey through the centuries, leafing through the pages of history, from the Roman age to modern times.
The colossal statues of the Caryatids from the Forum of Augustus; the Palatine Chapel, built over a Republican Domus; the Renaissance halls overlooking the great wall built by Augustus to separate his forum from the popular area of Suburra: these are just some of the wonders of the House of the Knights of Rhodes.
Amazing is also the fifteenth-century Loggia, frescoed with animals, exotic birds, and trees, and with an unforgettable view of the Forums, the Capitol, the Victorian, Piazza Venezia, and the medieval Torre delle Milizie.
