Antica Residenza del Corso is the Boutique Hotel in Rome for shopping, a central location that represents one of the most important urbanistic achievements of the 16th century. We are just a few steps from Via del Corso, the central street of the Tridente, completed by the Via del Babuino and Via di Ripetta.
The Trident is the area of Rome between Piazza del Popolo and Piazza Venezia, which came into being as a result of a 16th-century intervention that reorganized the three streets that from Rome's main gateway (Porta del Popolo) conveyed traffic to the major basilicas: Via di Ripeta toward Ponte Sant'Angelo and St. Peter's, Via del Corso toward the papal palace in Piazza Venezia and the Lateran, and Via del Babuino toward Santa Maria Maggiore.
At the end of the three streets we find three important squares: Piazza Cardelli at the end of Via di Ripetta, Piazza Venezia at the end of Via del Corso, Piazza di Spagna at the end of Via del Babuino. With the opening of the Trident, many palaces were also born, some of which are still of relevant importance today: the Quirinale, seat of the President of the Italian Republic; Montecitorio, seat of the Chamber of Deputies; Palazzo Madama, seat of the Senate of the Republic; and Palazzo Chigi, seat of the Presidency of the Council of Ministers.
Great architects and artists took part in the work on the Trident: Antonio di Sangallo, Raphael, Domenico Fontana, Pietro and Gian Lorenzo Bernini, and Giuseppe Valadier. Significant sites of interest certainly include the Flaminian Obelisk, erected in the center of Piazza del Popolo, the oldest of those brought to Rome; the Fountains of the Lions; the Church of Santa Maria del Popolo; the twin churches Santa Maria in Montesanto and Santa Maria dei Miracoli; the Church of San Giacomo in Augusta; the Fountain of Babuino; Via Margutta; and the Fountain of the Artists.
The Tridente has always been considered the most international place in the capital, a favorite location for the scions of European aristocratic families and a destination for many famous names in art, literature, and entertainment.
But the Trident is also a must-see stop for those who love shopping. Via dei Condotti is full of boutiques of the most prestigious fashion brands; Via Borgognona, Via della Vite, Via Frattina, Via delle Carrozze and Via Vittoria are the streets where you can admire the creativity of artisanal productions, visit the ateliers of the most inn fashion signatures, discover the proposals of jewelry stores such as Bulgari, Tiffany & Co., Chopard, Cartier, Damiani, Pomellato.
