Casino dell'Aurora
Entry is permitted under licence from Boncompagni Administration
Via Lombardia 44
“Casino dell’Aurora” takes its name from Guercino’s fresco on the vault (1621), commissioned by the then owner Cardinal Ludovico Ludovisi. The exuberance of “Aurora’s Cart” towed by dappled horse, is a metaphor of the triumph of the light over the dark and allegory of the victory of understanding over obscurantism. This concept is reaffirmed in the “Day” and “Night” lunettes.
In this little building, made of a little tower and several rooms (“Lettuccio” and “Metalli”). There is also a landscape by Domenichino in the entrance-hall and those by Guercino and Brill in the “fireside room”.

The Museum is located in the Chiesa del Sacro Cuore del Suffragio designed by Giuseppe Gualandi and consecrated in 1917.

You can admire all that walking through various paths and lanes following a signalled path, composed by a series of areas indicated with progressive numbers from 1 to 19. To make the visitor more interested to the itinerary, each area highlights particular species to be observed; that inevitably involves more those who are curious to discover forms of life both peaceful and silent, and essential for the existence and harmony of manhood.
