This well appointed property is adjacent to the Vatican, near the entrance of the Vatican
Museums, in Via Veniero. It is also near the Temple University in Lungotevere Arnaldo da
Brescia.
It is app. 85 sq. meters (app. 900 sq. feet).
It was recently renovated even in the smallest details, furnished and equipped handsomely.
The classical palace was built in 1927, as a
copper plate in the gate informs. It includes a large courtyard (photo below) where one
can park mopeds (a rarity in Rome, and garages are expensive).
Admiral Sebastiano Veniero, whom the street
commemorates, was the commander of the Venetian fleet in the famous and victorious sea
battle of Lepanto (1576 AD) against the Turkish fleet. |

The door of the apartment is reinforced, and
has an efficient security lock, both measures actually unnecessary. In fact the quarter,
including the Vatican, is very safe, and in the palazzo there are just a few discrete
families. When entering the apartment, the cozy and charming foyer, with its fine
paintings, its mirror, a wooden bench, and delicate lamps sets one at ease.
The foyer is followed by the spacious
sitting/dining room, which has two separate areas: a sitting room space, and a dining room
one.

Sitting room |
The sitting area has a
comfortable sofa, two armchairs, a table, bookshelves, a colour TV with satellite dish to
watch CNN and the major international programs, a little table for the telephone, and fine
paintings.
