Casa Balla: the futurist house in Rome between colors and illusions

A little known place, unique, eclectic and colorful: have you ever heard of Casa Balla?

In Rome, in the Della Vittoria district, to be precise in Via Oslavia, there is a secret apartment that is, in reality, a kaleidoscope of geometries, bright colors and artistic experiments capable of giving a unique experience.

It is the home of Giacomo Balla, the futurist artist who lived in these rooms, meticulously decorated by himself, from the 1920s until his death in 1958, in the company of his wife Elisa and their daughters Luce and Elica.

It’s a secret pearl, a "total" work of art reopened to the public only a few years ago: here everything, from furniture to tiles, from clothes to frescoes, gives shape to a colorful and dynamic world. Thus a normal bourgeois apartment is transformed into a space of imagination and creativity that can make the visitor gape.
