Jog greenery and history at Villa Guglielmi – Isola Sacra


Nel 1704 accanto alla torre Niccolina e al nascente agglomerato di capanne che diventò poi Fiumicino, venne eretto dalla casata dei Phampilj un casale che in seguito fu trasformato in villa di campagna.
The Villa was a country residence belonging to the families of the Primoli and the Giraud, but many families were owners in the following centuries.

Some of the most illustrious guests were Pope Gregory XVI and the French composer Claude Debussy who, he was a guest of the Count Primoli around 1885 and left us a description of his stay in our territory:
I was in Fiumicino, Primoli being in Paris, offered me his villa which is delightfully arranged. Fiumicino is a fascinating place where the Romans come to bathe at sea, where I already had a pleasant stay. There I have enjoyed a complete solitude, is what I ask for now“.
Si racconta poi che la sera del 25 novembre 1884 i primi ravennati siano stati ospitati nel cortile e nelle stanze della grande villa, per cominciare poi l’opera di bonifica. Il nome della villa si deve agli ultimi proprietari, i marchesi Guglielmi.

The villa is surrounded by a park of 10 hectares, and is close to the church of the crucifix built between the 1780 and the 1787 from the Card. Ruffo.
Today Villa Guglielmi is also known for its sport and jogging paths, a green and quiet oasis for those who love to take long walks in nature, among trees, meadows and canals, but also for those who love to do outdoor sports with its equipped paths.
A lovely pond, wooden bridges and a children's play area frame this green oasis in the heart of Fiumicino. If you visit Fiumicino you cannot miss it.
