Roma - Quartiere Dora

Popularly referred to as the Coppedè, the architecture is fantastic here, and I hear that the rents are too.
Many of the buildings were designed by Gino Coppedè from 1919 to 1926.
They are ornamented with a wonderful mix of motifs from fairy tales, myth and classical decoration.

This is a delightful, whimsical place, and your photography shines here. Of course, brings to mind shades of Gaudi in Barcelona.
