Located in the northern part of Rome in the Trieste District, Quartiere Coppede is an unexpectedly bizarre area boasting a fantastical mix of architectural styles.

Created in 1919 by renowned architect Coppede, the 101,706-square-foot Quarter features a mishmash of Roman Barroque, Ancient Greek, Medieval, Mannerist, and Art Nouveau structures. A Venetian palazzo embellished with external frescoes and mosaics, Florentine towers, and a sundial are just a few of the structures and design features showcased here.

There is even a musically decorative building with an exterior boasting carving and ironwork of musical notes. Its unusual whimsical atmosphere has made it a popular setting for many movies including Inferno, by Dario Argento.
