About

The Fondazione Torlonia came into being at the behest of Prince Alessandro Torlonia, with the aim of preserving and promoting the Collezione Torlonia and Villa Albani Torlonia: “cultural heritage of the Family for humanity” to be handed down to future generations. Together, as well as comprising an exceptional artistic heritage, they reflect some of the key moments of our civilisation, of the history of collecting, as well as of archaeology and restoration: the Collezione Torlonia offers a significant testimony of the history of collecting items of antiquity, and Villa Albani Torlonia – a sublime testimony of the coupling of reason and nature – constitutes an unspoilt representation of eighteenth-century taste.
