This apartment has a fascinating history, being part of a 1920s building designed by architect Innocenzo Sabbatini. It was the residence of the famous anarchist Errico Malatesta in the last years of his life and hosted the writer Andrea Camilleri during his directing studies at the National Academy of Dramatic Art.
Dimora Malatesta overlooks the Fontana del Peschiera, offering guests a privileged view of one of Rome’s modern symbols of water. Inaugurated in 1949 by President Luigi Einaudi to celebrate the arrival in the Capital of the crystal-clear waters from the Peschiera springs—among the most abundant in Europe—the fountain captivates with its large semicircular basin and striking central cascade. A corner of freshness and beauty in the heart of the Prati district, just a few steps from the Vatican Museums, it is an ideal spot for a photo stop and to discover how the tradition of Roman fountains continues to thrive in modern times.
