House Mann Borgese

It is a stately home located via T. Mann number 4 on the corner of via Donatello, in the Imperial Rome district. The house was designed by Leonardo Ricci in 1957 for Elisabeth Mann Borgese who was so enthusiastic about it that she dedicated a presentation to it in a magazine of the time. The body of the building is made of reinforced concrete (part exposed and part painted white). The house is on three levels: on the ground floor there is a summer living room, a sort of 'patio' delimited by buttresses. On the upper floor there is a large living room which rises for two thirds of the entire height and is connected to the kitchen. A large table was placed in the center of the living room, which overlooks the corridor leading to the bedrooms and bathrooms.
