One of Rome\u2019s most fascinating house museums is found a short walk from Piazza Navona, in via Zanardelli, on the third floor of the historic Palazzo Primoli: the former residence of Mario Praz (Rome, 1896\u20131982), essayist, art and literature critic, sophisticated art collector and celebrated Anglist whose research was focused mainly on England between the 17th century and the Victorian Age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Praz lived here between 1969 and 1982, and it has been open to the public since 1995, offering visitors a vast collection comprising more than 1,200 objects and furnishings collected over the course of his life and during his travels, left just as he himself arranged them. It is a flat filled with magic and beauty, where private space is transformed into a place of wonders. The ten rooms take visitors on a journey where the story of the individual objects intertwines with the memory of their owner\u2019s life. Paintings of views of Italian cities and portraits of rulers, sculptures, French bronzes, German porcelain, English furniture, silver and marble ranging from Neoclassical to Biedermeier in style, all acquired through his activity as a collector and an antiquarian and reflecting his desire to live not only surrounded by beauty but immersed in it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
