Villa Ada is one of the most beautiful parks in Rome. During the XVIII the park was restructured by some pathway, some small temple creating an ambient really romantic.Various vicissitudes saw the Villa passing trough different owners between Pallavicini’s prince, the Real House and their administrator  theTellfner Count who gave to the park the name of his wife: Ada.

Our Blogger: Arianna

From the 26 of June till the 3 of September in the Palazzo delle Esposizioni it will be possible to visit a very unusual exposition: one that displays the photographs taken by Gina Lollobrigida  all around the world.

Actually “Lollo” is one of the Italian symbols of beauty and cleverness.

She became a celebrity almost by accident: art and scupture were her first loves. She has always been interested in photography and she started to take pictures to the people she met, famous or not, when she was still acting in movies.

Together with Sofia Loren she represented the Italian beauty during the sixties.The movie “ Pane amore e fantasia”, paved her way to Hollywood, but she decided to go back to Italy after a while.

She retired from cinema and from 1972 she dedicated her energies to photography. Her pictures are now exposed in Rome at the Palazzo delle Esposizioni  until September 13th

Stay with us at Hotel Des Artistes or Yes Hotel and meet Indira Gandhi, Fidel Castro, Henri Kissinger, Maria Callas, Liza Minnelli, Yuri Gagarin, Neil Armstrong, Grace Kelly, Paul Newman, Sean Connery, Audrey Hepburn through the eyes of Gina.
