Villa Del Fanciullo

This villa, whose roots date back to the early 20th century, is a place of rare character. At its heart stands the main villa, the true heart of the estate, celebrated for its period elegance and spread across two floors plus a basement. The property is completed by ancillary buildings: the historic aviary, now used as a guesthouse, and the old warehouse, once an integral part of daily life on the estate, all nestled within a generous plot of land.
The restoration project is more than a simple technical upgrade: it aims to preserve and enhance the property’s original spirit, bringing to light its historic charm and integrating modern solutions for comfort and energy efficiency. Fine materials and carefully selected finishes blend seamlessly with the building’s heritage, creating interiors that combine timeless elegance with contemporary flair.
The residence is further enhanced by additional spaces such as a staff apartment with a private entrance, cellars, and a private gym, as well as landscaped gardens that can accommodate a swimming pool upon request.

Colle Parnaso, in the heart of southern Rome, is a residence immersed in a landscape where time seems to have stood still. This little-known corner of the capital takes its name, not coincidentally, from the legendary Mount Parnassus, sacred to Apollo and the Muses. Its very name evokes a natural vocation for beauty, reflection, and harmony with nature.
At the top of the hill stands Villa ”Il Fanciullo,” a refined 19th-century residence with a former aviary now converted into a guesthouse, reminiscent of the elegant country villas that once dotted the Roman countryside.
Here, the city quietly immerses itself in the greenery of the Laurentino-Acqua Acetosa Ostiense Nature Reserve, where fragments of Roman history intertwine with 20th-century architecture, rural farmhouses, and echoes of ancient sacred springs. One of these, the former San Paolo fountain, still flows nearby, framed by streams, canals, and small bridges that recall the area’s deep agricultural roots.
The neighborhood itself grew where fields once stretched as far as the eye could see, grazed by sheep and crossed by tractors. Even today, it retains a discreet, almost hidden soul, like a small green enclave overlooking the city’s main thoroughfares: Via Cristoforo Colombo on one side, Via Laurentina on the other.

The hill rises between the Fosso dell’Acqua Acetosa and the Fosso del Vallerano, forming part of a natural corridor connecting the Presidential Estate of Castelporziano with the Appian Way Regional Park. Today, it is protected by a recent extension of the Regional Nature Reserve, thanks to the commitment of residents and local associations.

It is not just a luxury property, but a home that unites past and present: an architectural heritage that exists in constant dialogue between nature, history, and modern life. A place that offers privacy, beauty, and quality, offering a truly unique and exclusive living experience. This is one of Rome’s last authentic enclaves, where birdsong mingles with the soft sounds of the countryside, and where the city seems distant yet incredibly close. The EUR district, schools, services, and urban transportation links are just minutes away, yet the atmosphere here is one of retreat, of suspension, of living in another Rome, immersed in silence and light.
Living in Colle Parnaso means choosing a rare space, where the memory of the landscape lives within the possibilities of the present. A villa, expertly restored with care and taste, can become a home, a studio, or a refuge for those seeking a truly unusual setting.
