After Villa Torlonia, our next stop was the Coppede District or Quartiere Coppede a whimsical, hidden architectural district located in the Trieste-Salario neighborhood around Piazza Mincio. It’s buildings has a bizarre, theatrical mix of Art Nouveau (Liberty style), Art Deco, Baroque, Gothic, Medieval, Greek, and Roman influences.
The heart of the district, features the famous “Fountain of the Frogs” (where The Beatles famously jumped in fully clothed in 1965).
