Things to Do in Rome This Weekend: Festivals, Markets, and Day Trips (November 13–15)

In 1902, the government purchased Villa Borghese, the palace, and all the works of art for 3.6 million lire—“the deal of the century.” Today, in Cardinal Scipione’s former residence, where Paolina Bonaparte still poses half-naked in the marble sculpture for which her husband paid Canova 6,000 scudi, you can discover it through a guided tour featuring Bernini, Caravaggio, and Raphael

In 1883, Gabriele D’Annunzio married Maria Hardouin di Gallese in a reconciliation wedding in the chapel of Palazzo Altemps—the home of his in-laws, the dukes—following their escape to Florence. Since 1982, the palace has been owned by the state, and today, just a stone’s throw from Piazza Navona, it houses *The Suicide of Galata* and *The Ludovisi Throne*.

Though she lived 2,600 years ago, Sappho remains an icon: on the Palatine Hill, 40 works tell her story through myth, pop culture, and the scent of roses

In December, Europe’s largest gasometer illuminates Rome with art, light, and magic

What to Do in Rome in November 2026: 13 Ideas Ranging from Jazz to San Martino Festivals, Exhibitions, and Spas Under the Stars

In 1796, a Madonna is said to have moved her eyes: the secret passage just a stone’s throw from Campo de’ Fiori

Just a short walk from Castel Sant’Angelo, there’s a spot where you can start your day with bagels, matcha, and specialty coffee

Much more than just a comedy show: the stand-up comedy show where you’ll learn to enjoy wines from all over the world is coming to Rome

Finally, on Corso d’Italia, the new “temple” of digital art, featuring a 300-square-meter immersive room
