We are pleased to invite you to join an intimate group of discerning participants for our unique, private discovery of Rome and the Lazio region’s historic, emblematic private palazzi and villas—many inaccessible to the publicoffering a rare opportunity to savor unique architecture, décor, art collections and exquisite gardens—during which we will be received by members of the Italian cultural elite for exclusive visits and private receptions.

Rome, known as the Eternal City, a treasure of architecture and art, history and culture, has been an essential destination for sophisticated travelers for centuries. Yet behind the city’s great monuments and museums lies a Rome unknown to even the most seasoned visitors. Our exceptional program offers an intimate group of discerning travelers special access to Rome’s most exclusive and evocative treasures—a secret Rome of exquisite palazzi, villas and gardens, world-class art collections and momentous, behind-the-scenes sites accessible only to the privileged few.

By exclusive personal invitation of Roman aristocrats, ambassadors, curators and members of the Italian cultural elite, we will discover, during seven momentous days, exemplary private palazzi, castles and villas in the city and surrounding countryside, as well as legendary archeological sites rarely open to the public

We will observe the development of Roman architecture, décor, art and landscape design guided by expert lecturers.

We will be welcomed by the owners, Roman nobility and esteemed members of the Roman social and cultural elite, to their stunning private residences—many never open to the public—for visits, lunches and dinners.

In view of the exclusivity of our program and to assure the full enjoyment of each participant and quality exchanges with our distinguished hosts and experts, the maximum number of participants is set at 15
