The chances are you probably won't find Quartiere Coppede in many Rome tourist guides, mainly because this quirky neighbourhood is well off the beaten track. We came across Quartiere Coppede quite by accident on a Rome - 'Hidden Gems' website. There is no metro station nearby, However trams 3 and 19 both go to Quartiere Coppede. You'll need to get out at the 'Buenos Aires' stop. We took the 19 tram from Lepento, our journey took around 30 minutes, but for me this is the best way to see Rome's different neighbourhoods, and with a flat fare of one euro fifty cents, it's well worth it.
As we approached the vast buildings designed by the Florentine architect Gino Coppede , the layout reminded me a lot of Portmeirion in north Wales, it was almost like entering a bizarre architectural theme park, no two buildings looked the same. It simply took your breath away. The chandelier under the arch of the main building was magical, as was the spider motif above the entrance of what I call the Spider Building. On another large house there are some beautiful murals painted onto the exterior. Sadly the renowned 'Frog Fountain' was being renovated during our visit and was covered up.
You'll only need about an hour to walk around this cluster of wonderful houses. I can highly recommend the 'Sesto' coffee shop on Piazza Buenos Aires, they serve great cappuccino and croissants and is conveniently located right opposite the tram stop.

The Coppedé District, which takes its name from its architect, Gino Coppedé, is a small treasure chest of Art Nouveau wonders, designed around the 1920s.
It is a place that you do not expect to find in Rome!
This little enchanted corner seems to come out of a fairy tale. You never stop discovering new delightful extravagant details.
This complex of 26 buildings and 17 small villas is gathered around Piazza Mincio and the Fontana delle Rane (the Fountain of the Frogs), where, it is said, in 1965 the Beatles immersed themselves after an evening spent at the Piper, a famous dance hall not far away.
There is a lot of greenery, few cars, silence, order and cleanliness.
After passing the arch with the magnificent wrought iron chandelier, we found ourselves in Piazza Mincio where there is the Fountain of the Frogs, closed for restoration, a beautiful fairy house, then the embassy of the Kingdom of Morocco and two other splendid palaces whose name we don't remember.
Many architectural styles mixed with harmony, originality and art that add to the wonders of a more distant past !!

Guided tour with the excellent organization of Bellezze di Roma which never betrays expectations.
Our guide Francesco (Eramo) made us spend almost two hours in a small part of the Trieste district, which includes the wonderful reality of the well-known Coppede'!
What can I say, as a distracted Roman, I had passed by it but I highly recommend delving into these wonderful examples of imaginative and highly original architecture, with the guidance of Francesco, who is truly passionate and competent enough to transfer all his knowledge to us.
You will come across a series of buildings and the adjoining frog fountain in Piazza Mincio, so particular that they deserve to be observed carefully and with rapt attention!
At least that's how it was for us!
I renew the advice already given to see the wonders of Rome, even as Romans, with the expert guide of art enthusiasts and not only offered by Bellezze di Roma and you will not regret it, I am more than sure of it and I also think I am in good company!
See you next time and thanks Francesco!

The Coppedè District (Quartiere Coppedè), which includes the fountain of the frogs, is a small area in Rome consisting of 18 palazzos and 27 villas, buildings and public works set around Piazza Mincio. It is absolutely unique compared to all other parts of the city. Designed by the visionary Gino Coppedè and built during the 1920’s it incorporates multiple different but complementary architectural styles and comprises a harmonious vision that really has to be seen to be believed. Easily viewable in 20-30 minutes it really is a breathtaking and unique experience amongst the attractions of this ancient city.

A visit to Quartiere Coppedè in the Trieste district (northern part of Rome) with its frog fountain on the Piazza Mincio, spider bedecked Palazzo del Ragno, and assortment of fanciful architectural styles, including ancient Greek, Roman Baroque, Mannerist, Medieval, and, Art Nouveau, each created between 1919 and 1927 by Florentine architect Gino Coppedè gave us an enchanted afternoon. The Art Nouveau palaces brim with floral, mythological and medieval details, and towers with mosaics and frescoes are eye feasts. If you love architecture, you’ll relish this place.

If you love Art Nouveau style, this neighborhood is absolutely worth discovering. The details of the buildings captivate with their imagination and richness. The most beautiful buildings are concentrated around the frog fountain, so it doesn't take much time to see them all. However, the area is very quiet, far from the tourist chaos so it's really a pleasure to come here.

This corner of the Trieste district should have been called Dora but the architect who designed it, the Florentine Gino Coppedè, executed a project so exclusive that today we know it by its name. Its incredible architectural language shows buildings that boldly mix different styles, making it the eclectic neighborhood par excellence, an authentic pearl of Rome. The fulcrum of the neighborhood is Piazza Mincio where, in addition to the beautiful fountain of Frogs, overlook the buildings richer in decorations and imaginative symbols that testify to the immense creativity of Coppedè. Recommended a walk with various stops to better appreciate every single detail.

My trip to Rome was a 10 out of 10! It was a great trip and culinary experience. All that scam hysteria I had heard was not a problem at all, as long as you are aware of your things and surroundings. It felt safe, even at night. It was nice weather, but you have to be robust to handle the many people, as well as the heat and humidity, which sometimes can be too much! Fortunately, Rome has plenty of cafes and kiosks where you can get a cold drink and get on your legs again. It is not always we found a small drinking fountain, so mostly we bought our water. I will definitely go to Rome again - but recommend parents to be careful to take their children with them, if they are not used to many people and a sticky heat.

It is a different sector of Rome. Outside the center which is what is generally visited. A harmonious place.
It is a residential, quiet place, a stone's throw from Viale Regina Margarita and not far from via Nomemtana.

We walked into gardens from Piazza del Pappio. Strolled the gardens and walked toward these beautiful homes. 20-25 minutes through park into the quarter. The homes are stunning architecture and a few embassy’s in area. nice area to see and enjoy.

Ciao Elisabett,
partendo dal centro città, diciamo dalla Stazione di Roma Termini, conviene prendere la metro fino alla fermata del policlinico. Uscire su viale Regina Margherita ed aspettare l'autobus n°19 o n° 3 in direzione e scendere a Piazza Buenos Aires (dove si trova anche una bella chiesetta da visitare). Da li 5 minuti a Piedi.
Ciao

Comment accéder au quartier Coppedé quand on débarque du terminal du train (devant Vatican) ?
y a t'il une station de métro ou de tram ? Est-ce loin à pied ? Merci
Written September 2, 2018
j'ai fait des recherches et je pense que le tram le plus proche se trouve piazza del Risorgimento mais je ne me rappelle plus le numéro du tram, l'arrêt est au milieu de la place. Il passe en principe toutes les vingt minutes mais nous l'avons attendu une bonne quarantaine de minutes ce qui a suscité des discussions houleuses entre les Italiens partagés entre l'exaspération et la résignation....
C'est très loin du quartier Coppede, une fois le Tibre traversé ( en tram) vous arriverez dans des quartiers magnifiques (ambassades, consulats, académies,etc.) et passerez devant la très belle Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Moderna. Je vous conseille vivement le Palazzo Nobile ( décoration orientaliste, pompier, néo-gothique, etc. ) et la Casina delle Civette (Art nouveau) de la Villa Torlonia dont le quartier est également très beau et dont l'arrêt se trouve un peu plus loin de celui de Coppede....

Premesso che andremmo con i mezzi pubblici durante un week end che prevede l’alloggio in zona Borgo Pio, consigliate di fare una visita in serata e fermarsi lì a cena?

Consiglio di dare esattamente il contrario.

ciao, per cortesia mi sai dire se si puo' accedere autonomamente a questo quartierino? Si paga un biglietto? Necessaria una guida? dove si trova? Grazie
Written March 27, 2018
Si può accedere senza nessun pagamento. L'arco principale da cui iniziano gli edifici del Quartiere Coppedè, si trova a 50 metri dal locale Piper. Basta trovare parcheggio su Via Tagliamento e si è giunti a destinazione. Ci sono Palazzi proprio all'incrocio con Via Tagliamento mentre la maggioranza delle attrazioni sono intorno alla vicina Piazza del Mincio. Ci sono ulteriori villette in stile Coppedè ancora a poca distanza dalla Piazza. Consiglio di studiare la storia del quartiere ed il significato dei richiami dei palazzi e delle villette. In alternativa una visita guidata. Ho trovato ottima quella di Bellezze di Roma (costo 12€ a persona) della durata di oltre 1 ora e mezza.
