Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Libraries might be out of fashion, but they’ll always hold a special place in our heart. And a home library like La Politica Dell'Autore’s doesn’t come around every day. It’s kind of spectacular, with bookcases lining the entire living room, making the space feel a little bit magical. The small terrace, practically overflowing with plants complements that feeling. The kitchen, unfortunately, is a bit basic, but luckily there are plenty of restaurants in Prati, so you’ll just have to go and sample the local cuisine.

Local guide
About Prati
Prati sits cheek by jowl with Vatican City - not that you would necessarily know from within. The newest of Rome's districts, built between 1873-1921, its road plan was designed so that none of the streets would have St. Peter’s Dome in the background, a reflection of the tension between the new Italian state and the Vatican during its construction. Once a verdant area of meadows, vegetable gardens and vineyards,...
