This distict, set up by 18 palaces and 27 smaller buildings, has the same name of the architect who received this commission in the 1915 form the “Società Anonima Edilizia Moderna”, a property of the financer Cerruti. This eclectic artwork, built in the Coppedè’s way, takes place in Via Doria, between the Parioli, Salario and Trieste districts.
The Coppedè’s, characterized by manifold styles from the imperial one to the liberty one, shows its own entrance as a stamp out arch connecting two different palaces and enriched with an asymmetrical decoration. This entrance is a replication of a Calibria’s set design, an Italian film of the earlier 1900. From there you have the direct access to the pulsing heart of the district called Mincio Square. Here takes place the famous Frogs Fountain, finished in the 1924 and set up by two pools surrounded by spurting frogs. In the square overlooks the four foremost and wonderful palaces. One of these is the “Fairy Detached House”. There are also the great Ambassadors Palaces and the Spider’s Palace.
