Cut through the heart of Rome, hidden behind the palaces in Via del Babuino and protected by the steep slope of Pincio hill, Marguta Street always had a peculiar vocation to be the artistic center of the Eternal City. This lane gave often hospitality to Dutch and Flemish artists, who came to Italy for the ritual Grand Tour. Besides, in 1821, in the rooms of n.53, the British Academy of Arts was established by Thomas Lawrence.
