The history of Villa Spalletti Trivelli
Gabriella Rasponi, widow of Count Venceslao Spalletti Trivelli, Senator of the Kingdom of Italy, niece of Joachim Murat and Carolina Bonaparte (Napoleon’s sister), purchased the land across from the gardens of the Quirinal Palace, where the house of Tito Pomponio Attico, editor and friend of Cicero, once stood. She entrusted the task of building Villa Spalletti Trivelli to Architect Domenico Avenali (who employed the services of talented artists and artisans, including Edoardo Gioja).

Thanks to the intelligent sensibility of Countess Rasponi, President of the National Council of Italian Women, Villa Spalletti Trivelli became a prestigious political and cultural meeting place. Every Thursday afternoon, the Villa’s drawing rooms were frequented by influential figures of the time, including Romualdo Bonfaldini, Sidney Sonnino and Rabindranath Tagore, the Nobel Prize winner for Literature in 1913.

In the early 1930s, Cesare Spalletti Trivelli inherited the historic residence in the centre of Rome from his mother, where he would then live with his wife, Countess Guendalina Cavazzi della Somaglia. Appointed Gentleman and Lady of the Court of Queen Marie José of Belgium, wife of Umberto II of Savoy, the last King of Italy, the Count and Countess duly left the Villa to their son, Piero, a sensitive writer and accomplished poet.

In 2004, Giangiacomo Spalletti Trivelli, son of Count Piero, and his wife, Susanna, daughter of world champion show jumping rider Raimondo d’Inzeo, decided to convert the family’s historical home into an exclusive luxury residence to welcome refined and discerning visitors.
