'A luxury five-stare hotel in Rome, boasting a collection of over 1000
extraordinary artworks, is now welcoming visitors with guided tours.
The Cavalieri Waldorf Astoria, hailed as Rome's most prestigious hotel and a
favoured choice among celebrities like Leonardo DiCaprio and George Clooney, is
now, for the first time, opening its doors to guided tours as part of the
ongoing 60th-anniversary celebrations.
Opened in 1963, the hotel is home to one of the world's largest private art
collection, an extensive gallery featuring thousands of pieces curated by the
Terruzzi family, former proprietors of the five-star establishment.
“It is a pleasure to do a tour in this space because it is open to the public,
so anybody can come in and admire the works of art that constitute this
collection which is quite unique,” says art historian and guide, Alexandra
Massina.
She adds: "We range from Beauvais tapestries like the ones here to paintings by
Tiepolo, to followers of Caravaggio, to sculptures, to magnificent pieces of
furniture because it is a collection that comprises about a thousand pieces of
art throughout the hotel."'
That's a funny typo! "Five-stare hotel".
