HistoryGabriella Rasponi, widow of Court Venceslao Spalletti Trivelli,
Senator of the Kingdom, niece of Gioacchino Murat and Carolina Bonaparte
(Napoleon’s sister), purchased the land in front of the gardens of the
Quirinale, where the house of Tito Pomponio Attico, editor and friend of
Cicero, was located and entrusted the task of building Villa Spalletti
Trivelli to Architect Domenico Avenali (who used the help of various artists
and artisans, like Edoardo Gioja).
Thanks to the intelligent awareness of Countess Reasponi, President of the
National Council of Italian Women, Villa Spalletti Trivelli because an
important political and cultural masterpiece. Every Thursday afternoon, the
villa's drawing rooms were filled with important people of the time, including
Ruggero Borghi, Marco Minghetti, Romualdo Bonfaldini, Sidney Sonnino and
Rabrindanath Tagore, the Nobel prize winner for literature in 1913.
At the beginning of the 1930s, Cesare Spalletti Trivelli inherited a historic
residence in downtown Rome from his mother where he lived with his wife,
Contessa Guendalina Cavazzi della Somaglia. Appointed Sir and Lady of the Court
of Queen Maria Josè of Belgium, wife of Umberto II of Savoia, the last
King of Italy, the count and countess left the Villa to their son, Piero, a
writer and poet.
In 2004, Giangiacomo Spalletti Trivelli, son of Count Piero, and his wife,
Susanna, daughter of the horseback riding champion, Raimondo d'Inzeo,
decided to convert the family's historic residence into an exclusive luxury
residence for the most refined and demanding travelers.
After three years of restorations thanks to the help of Architect Piero
Alessandrini, Villa Spalletti Trivelli became a unique and exclusive hotel in
the historic center of Rome, where the Spalletti Trivelli family's
passion for history, culture and art along with the most modern technologies put
the Villa on the same scale as a luxury hotel, avant-garde for its
comfort and amenities.
