Following the story of two lovers divided by love of country, the public will admire the beauties of a palace - now a Museum of Rome - which includes wonderful works of art and architectural views.
"A very private visit" tells the story of Rome from the perspective of characters who lived it: the show glances over a very turbulent period in Rome, from the overwhelming power of the popes to the inspirations of freedom and independence of the Carbonari's revolts. A palace so dramatic and charming will be the perfect setting for a passionate love story full of twists, true to Stendhal's style to which the work is inspired.
Built in the late eighteenth century, Palazzo Braschi is the heart of a papal Rome, crossed by libertarian winds of the Carbonari's movements of independence. Those rooms, where the portraits of the great families merge with images of great artworks of Renaissance and Baroque, could not do without entertain the drama of a love and freedom between a young aristocrat and a Carbonaro fugitive, as in the most passionate tradition of Stendhal's writings.
Spectators are invited to Braschi's party, guided by strict governess in order to admire the beauty of the building when a regrettable incident cut shortly celebrations: the police are in turmoil and the palace is all a mysterious comings and goings.
In this atmosphere of mystery and suspicion, the audience can re-live that feeling of decadence of a papal state that was too busy to deal with political interests rather than to save souls from sin.
Inspired by Italian and foreign authors (Stendhal, Goethe, Belli) in love with Rome at that time, this drama will surface in this bittersweet story the uniqueness of the Roman's spirit.
