I Love Touring Rome, Italy - Hotels In The Salario District

The lush, green Salario district is in northeastern Rome. One of its highlights is the neo-Classical Villa Torlonia formerly rented by BM (Benito Mussolini) as his state residence. Would you believe the rent was one lira per year? The Villa's centerpiece is the Casina delle Civette. This property is no longer for rent; it contains a lovely museum. You might want to compare and contrast it with the Villa Albani that still belongs to the Torlonia family, said to be the wealthiest family in Nineteenth Century Rome. You may want to visit the Santa Constanza Church built under Emperor Constantine I, a mausoleum that contains the remains of his daughters. The church interior is decorated with excellent Fourth Century flora and fauna mosaics and scenes of a Roman grape harvest. Make sure to see the Ponte Salario (Salario Bridge) parts of which date from antiquity. For your convenience we have listed neighborhood hotels in approximate order of cost, starting with the least expensive.
