When Sophia Loren married Carlo Ponti in 1957, he promised her “the most beautiful house in the world.”

A thread about their majestic Roman villa 🧵 Image
1. Villa Sara is a lavish 16th-century mansion in Marino, Italy, just outside Rome, boasting 50 rooms and a grand guest house.

Ponti extensively renovated it, adding a swimming pool and richly ornate furnishings that epitomized extravagance and opulence. Image
2. Designed in Baroque style, the villa combined Roman and Renaissance influences and rivaled any royal residence with its unique decor.

Set on 20 hectares, the couple’s retreat included an art gallery, private cinema, stable, aqueduct, tennis court, and orchard. Image

Ancient Rome back then vs Rome today 🧵

1. The Roman Forum Image
2. Circus Maximus

It was an ancient Roman chariot-racing stadium measuring 621 by 118 meters and seating over 150,000 spectators.

The Circus Maximus was the largest stadium in ancient Rome and later inspired circuses throughout the Roman Empire. Today, it is a public park. Image
3. The Colosseum

The largest ancient amphitheatre ever built, it remains the largest standing amphitheatre in the world today.

I often wonder what it must have been like in all its former glory. Image
