(Aug. 17) Rome’s charm and beauty cannot be escaped anywhere in the world. And the series of 8 encounters entitled “Villa Delights: Roman villas from the Renaissance to the Nineteenth Century” that will take place at the Italian Institute of Culture in Helsinki, is proof of this. From October 4 to November 29, the construction, décor, and general magnificence of selected villas from the Italian capital will be explored. Among these, Villa della Farnesina, Villa Madama, Villa Lante, Villa d’Este, Villa Borghese, Villa Doria-Pamphilj, Palazzo Chigi (Ariccia), and Villa Torlonia. This is great opportunity to discover a traditional Rome, so often ignored by the standard tourist programs.
