Velletri On the trail

Private tour of Ugo Tognazzi's house in the Velletri countryside

Velletri

Tognazzi wrote films at this table, cooked in this kitchen and filled the house with the people he worked with. It stands in the countryside at Velletri, furnished as he left it.

How the day goes

  1. Casa Vecchia sits inside the La Tognazza estate, among the vines.
  2. The visit is private and led, room by room, through the house he actually lived in.
  3. A tasting goes with it, on the estate that still carries his name.

It opens by appointment rather than on a calendar, so this is a visit to fix before the rest of the day is planned around it.
