Two historical buildings with the walls of Villa Torlonia have been transformed into museum sites: the Casino Nobile, built in the 19th century, now houses the museum that documents the Villa itself as well as a collection of works by the Roman School, and the Museum of the Casina delle Civette, dedicated to artistic stained glass.

Away from the well traveled center of Rome we went via the metro to a nice little museum at the villa Torlonia!.The museum is actually 2 buildings set in what was once the estate of the Caretti family (now a public park). The park itself is not well kept up but the two buildings that make up the museum have been restored. The main building is the 19th century Casino Nobile and the second building is officially called the Casina delle civette but is better known as the owl house. A historic note is even though this was the home of the Caretti family it was leased to Mussolini from 1925-1943 as his personal residence. The main villa has been restored to how it would have been in the late 18th century and displays the artwork of the Caretti family. The artwork is not impressive when compared to other villas in Rome but the building itself is beautiful. The owl house is a much more modern building (late 19th century Art Deco building). This building is known for its outstanding stain glass as well as stain glass that is displayed within the house. If you are a history lover or like art deco and stain glass this is a nice place to visit to get away from the ever present crowds in Rome.
