Gaze out over Piazza Navona and admire Bernini’s Fountain of the Four Rivers, directly below you in all its splendor. Savor a glass of fine Italian wine and sample regional cheeses and cold cuts as you're serenaded by a live soprano and tenor, just steps away. After the concert, you'll be guided to the Rooftop Terrace 'La Grande Bellezza', where scenes from the Oscar-winning film were shot. From here, take in a 360° panoramic view of Rome’s most iconic monuments—St. Peter’s Basilica, Castel Sant’Angelo, and more.

Agnese in Agone Church. The palace was built in 1644 by the architect Borromini for the Pamphilj family, during the pontificate of pope Innocenzo X Pamphilj, who wanted his private apartment in this Palace. The building is an authentic wealth of art, with masterpieces of famous artists like Guercino. The Palace has a beautiful Courtyard with an old well and the belltower with the mechanism of the huge watch visible from Piazza Navona. The terrace “ The Great Beauty” offers a one-of-a-kind view: you will see S. Peter’s Basilica, Castel S. Angelo, the Pantheon, the dome of S.Ivo alla Sapienza, Trinità dei Monti and Piazza del Campidoglio. A breathtaking view that will show you all the skyline of the eternal city. __________________________________ The program is subject to change, but have a sample of some of the arias and duets you might hear our talented artists perform: • E lucean le stelle (Tosca), Giacomo Puccini • Vissi d’arte (Boheme), Giacomo Puccini • La donna è mobile (Rigoletto), Giuseppe Verdi • O soave fanciulla (Boheme), Giacomo Puccini • Giusto ciel (L’assedio di Corinto), Gioacchino Rossini • Vesti la giubba (I Pagliacci), Ruggero Leoncavallo • Libiamo nei lieti calici (La Traviata), Giuseppe Verdi
