Newly refurbished, big and bright flat located in a quite and green area close to Ponte Milvio, new music Auditorium and MAXXI museum, 10 mins far from Piazza del Popolo by tram. Two bedrooms, two bathrooms, big living with balcony, massive kitchen. Flat is located in the area known as Villaggio Olimpico. Architects Moretti, Cafiero, Monaco, Libera and Luccichenti designed Rome’s Olympic Village for the 1960 Olympics, and beyond. After the Games, the 1,800 apartments who had lodged athletes were to become council homes for civil servants and their families. Though “Villaggio Olimpico” houses the finest works of seven most prodigious architects, few people –locals as well as tourists– know this gem of modernist architecture.

This area along the flood plain of the Tiber had long been used as a site for sporting events. Previously it had been the Piazza d´Armi for horse events and there was a hippodrome. It was also easy accessible to Foro Italico across the river to the west where facilities built in the 1930's already existed including a stadium. Planned Olympic facilities included 2 stadiums and housing for the athletes. One stadium was to be used for football, the Stadio Flaminio, 1959, and the other for indoor sports, the Palazzetto dello Sport, 1958. Designed by Pier Luigi Nervi.
