A Home Where Art, History and Mythology Meet
In the heart of Orvieto’s historic centre, overlooking the beautiful Piazza del Popolo, stands the historic palace that was once home to the painter Giuseppina Anselmi.
From the mid-19th century onwards, the palace became a gathering place for the noblewomen of Orvieto, who shared Giuseppina’s passion for reading and the festivities of Carnival.
What makes these rooms even more remarkable are the frescoes painted around the mid-19th century by Andrea Galeotti, an artist from Cortona. Evocative perspective views inspired by the ruins of Pompeii intertwine with references to Greek and Etruscan mythology.
Located on the noble floor of the historic palace, Casa degli Affreschi welcomes guests into rooms adorned with beautiful painted decorations, creating a unique atmosphere throughout the home.
Particularly captivating is the bedroom, beneath a painted night sky featuring a rare depiction of Somnus, the Roman god of sleep and father of dreams.
