Trevi Fountain: Casa Pertini Voltolina Museum Tour｜Italy

Experience a unique chapter of Italian history inside Casa Pertini Voltolina, the private apartment where President Sandro Pertini and Carla Voltolina lived. This is the first time a President’s residence has opened its doors to the public, offering a rare chance to explore the authentic, everyday world of one of Italy’s most iconic figures. Begin your visit in the heart of Rome, inside Palazzo Castellani, a 19th-century palace rich with stories of its own.

Move room by room through the preserved apartment, where original furniture, clothing, documents, photographs, and personal objects remain just as they were. Discover the famous collection of one hundred pipes, including gifts from figures like Enzo Bearzot and Luciano Lama, and see how these details reveal the President’s daily rituals and human side. Along the way, you’ll encounter artworks, archives, and mementos that bring to life the couple’s story and the era they shaped.

Your journey continues through the palace’s historic spaces, from the statue of Sappho in the atrium to the Madonna shrine at the corner of Piazza della Fontana di Trevi. The experience culminates on the “Tricolour Terrace”, the highest point above Trevi Square, where the Italian flag waves above one of Rome’s most breathtaking panoramas. Gaze out over the Trevi Fountain, the Quirinal Palace, and the city skyline, and enjoy a complimentary Rossana candy, a sweet touch from Italy’s oldest confectionery tradition. The visit ends at the terrace, leaving you in the heart of Rome, perfectly placed to continue exploring.
