Rome
The Hotel de Russie, the iconic Roman address of Rocco Forte Hotels, is inspired by the words of the physicist Albert Einstein.So it illuminates its spaces with art and culture, beauty and poetry.
Always committed to supporting the arts, the Hotel de Russie continues to deepen the dialogue between art and nature with a project by Marco Nereo Rotelli, the light artist and Phd Riccardo Valentini, 2007 Nobel Peace Prize winner together with scientistsof the IPCC Climate.
The artist Rotelli and the scientific technology developed by prof.Valentini together with the work of designer Valerio Cenciarelli give life to an enchanted garden and a magical olive grove in the heart of Rome.
The Hotel de Russie is designed as a theater where the audience and actors are the trees.
The monumental historical garden, designed by the architect.Valadier in the 19th century, is the audience.The trees are in fact the subject of a spectacular light installation with inlaid verses dedicated to nature and donated by contemporary international poets.
Their verses, projected with the stylistic signature of Marco Nereo Rotelli, are visible as a magical verbal ramification.
Instead the stage is the entrance courtyard, the renowned Piazzetta Valadier.Here there are 4 olive trees and the staging takes place.Trees interact with humans, communicate their state of health and react to the presence, emanating color and creating emotion.
Right in the setting of the Secret Garden is the Winter Punch Bar.Here the expert mixologists of the Stravinsky Bar, taking inspiration from the traditional recipes of the punch drink, add a personal contemporary touch and create a special menu of hot and cold punches.
At the Hotel de la Ville the decorative elements of the traditional tree – created thanks to the artisan expertise of Bottega Conticelli – become diffusers of the iconic fragrance “The Essential Blend n.70″ from the maison de parfum Campomarzio70.
It is a Roman excellence founded in 1926, today a leader in the international panorama of artistic fragrances.
A true sensorial journey – with a bouquet of amber, vanilla and cedar wood – enriched by Sebastian Flowers who, through the decorations, completes the synergy between the essences of Campomarzio70 and the perfumed notes released by the floral elements.
The rooms of the evocative nineteenth-century building welcome the 2023 holidays with a calendar full of events and menus designed by Chef Fulvio Pierangelini:
