Gala Dinner
Thursday, June 27, 2019
The Gala Dinner will be held in the luxury Palazzo Brancaccio one of the most beautiful residences in Rome built in 1880.
More details...Palazzo Brancaccio is the last palace of the Roman Patriciate built in 1880 in the heart of the eternal city by the will of Prince Salvatore Brancaccio, exponent of one of the most ancient and illustrious families of the Neapolitan patriciate, and of his consort Mary Elisabeth Field, rich American heiress. The building – today one of the most beautiful luxury locations in Rome – takes shape thanks to the talent of the architect Gaetano Koch, one of the most famous in the nineteenth-century Roman panorama, also known for the construction of Palazzo Koch and the two palaces of Esedra in Republic square; as well as Luca Carini, another architect and sculptor in vogue in the Umbertine era.
This luxury location today is able to host the most diverse events. The style recalls the “Baroque classicism” and embodies the characteristics of pomp and elegance but with a line of continuity typical of classical art. Curved lines with sinuous curves are enhanced in the Palace, in spaces that link painting, sculpture, stuccoes and mirrors, emphasizing everything through suggestive plays of light and shadows; a decorative exuberance that aims to arouse wonder and amazement, all enriched by a wide original vein, seasoned with classic canons. The originality and the free creation of this style can be found in every room of this splendid Capitoline luxury location, even in the Casina di Caccia, a small external structure located in the secular park, which can accommodate small refreshments and which “hides” an immense gift by Francesco Gai, one of the most versatile painters of the period, who embellished other rooms of the historic period residence. Palazzo Brancaccio, thanks to its history, is able to convey emotions able to make their guests dream because the rooms of the location recall a princely atmosphere, which today is enriched with new and impeccable gourmet proposals, created by young and yet expert chefs who have led to a new, dynamic and creative kitchen management. It is also characterized by a room service typical of a princely palace of the time.

The Social Tour will take place at the Roman Houses of the Celio. The Roman domus of Celio below the basilica of Santi Giovanni e Paolo, on the slopes of the Celio, on the Clivo di Scauro between the Colosseum and the Circus Maximus, were opened to the public in 2002.
More details...We are pleased to offer a visit to the Roman Houses of the Celio through a multi-sensory journey through art and taste that will take us to a different era thanks to the presence of an actor and the possibility of tasting foods prepared according to the ancient recipes of Apicius and other Latin authors . A real journey through time in which our talented guide will lead us to discover one of the few imperial houses perfectly preserved in Rome through a path animated by theatrical interventions. In this way we will be able to give a voice and a face to the past, to recreate the atmosphere of an ancient dwelling, the habits of its inhabitants, to get to know the foods offered to the banqueting guests but also to discover the desires, joys and pleasures and the concerns of the inhabitants of the time! Finally, we will leave space to the senses and to the intense aromas and spicy aromas of Roman cuisine presented and illustrated in a rich buffet aperitif-dinner that will allow us to discover the flavors of the ancient cuisine between a mix of unusual combinations, expensive and exotic spices , sacral foods etc. etc. A decidedly pleasant and unusual way to learn from within the gastronomic habits and the historical reflexes of the kitchen in the ancient world.
