Prestigious Residence – Historic Center, Piazza Navona, Rome

In the beating heart of Rome’s most historic and captivating district, just steps from the iconic Piazza Navona, we offer a residential opportunity of inestimable value: a magnificent residence located on the second floor of a seventeenth-century palace of rare beauty. This property is an integral part of the famous Collegio Innocenziano, a masterpiece born from the undisputed genius of architect Francesco Borromini.

The building, a testament to Baroque architecture maintained in impeccable condition, welcomes its residents with an elegant concierge service and an elevator. A distinctive feature of this historic palace is its unique and fascinating spiral ramp—a masterpiece of engineering and design by Borromini himself—which sets the stage for the uniqueness of the interiors.

The residence boasts the privilege of being the only unit on its floor, offering absolute privacy and an evocative semi-circular floor plan. It features strategic views over both the quiet Via di Santa Maria dell’Anima and the splendid, secluded internal courtyard.

Currently awaiting renovation, the property offers an extraordinary opportunity to create a bespoke home, customizing the vast spaces while preserving the original architectural and artistic elements. The property opens with an entrance hall leading to a generous formal double reception room, enriched by a fireplace and overlooking Via di Santa Maria dell’Anima. This is followed by a study and a sumptuous master suite with an en-suite bathroom and a functional habitable mezzanine.

A charming internal gallery, offering glimpses of the bright courtyard and a breathtaking close-up view of the dome of the adjacent Church of Sant’Agnese in Agone (another Borromini masterpiece), leads to the dining room with a balcony, a spacious eat-in kitchen, two additional bedrooms, and two bathrooms. A mezzanine staff area with its own bathroom completes the layout.

The property stands out for its exceptional natural light, guaranteed by numerous large windows, and for its soaring ceilings—reaching 4.75 meters in height—finely decorated with splendid period frescoes. Original features such as antique terracotta floors and white marble door frames highlight the historic prestige and timeless elegance of this one-of-a-kind residence.

To complete this luxury offering, the property includes a storage cellar and an indispensable covered parking space in the communal garage—a rare convenience in this exclusive area of the historic center.

An unrepeatable opportunity for those who wish to live immersed in the history, art, and eternal beauty of Rome, in a residence that bears the signature of one of the greatest architects of all time.
