Pigna is the name of rione IX of Rome, located in Municipio I of the city. The name means "pine cone" in Italian, and the symbol for the rione is the colossal bronze pine cone, the Pigna.
The giant bronze pine cone (Pigna) once decorated a fountain in Ancient Rome next to a vast Temple of Isis. There water flowed copiously from the top of the pinecone.
History

The Pigna was moved first to the Old Basilica of Saint Peter, where Dante saw it and employed it in the Divina Commedia as a simile for the giant proportions of the face of Nimrod.
In the 15th century it was moved to its current location, the upper end of Bramante's Cortile del Belvedere, which is now usually called in its honour the Cortile della Pigna, linking the Vatican and the Palazzo del Belvedere. There it stands today under Pirro Ligorio's vast niche at the far end, flanked by a pair of Roman bronze peacocks brought from Hadrian's mausoleum, the Castel Sant'Angelo.

The price includes:
Fitted sheets, towels, electricity and gas.

Great place to stay
Neri and Mariano met us at the apartment after giving us great directions on how to get there including taxis and buses, the pictures show it all, a fantastic place to stay. They gave us information about the apartment, that had great air conditioning,washing machine and cooking facilities. Neri and Mariano also told us about conveniences including supermarkets, cafes and restaurants. We would highly recommend this apartment for a stay in Rome, whether it be short or long, for pleasure or work and we would definitely stay here again. Thanks again Neri and Mariano for your great hospitality. Jennifer and Peter.

Wonderful restaurants near by and only a couple minute walk to a taxi if needed. Mariano was very welcoming and communicated well with us leading up to and during our stay!

Cozy apartment close to everything
We stayed one week. The bed was comfortable and the a/c worked well in the bedroom as it was in the 90’s the week we were there. The apartment is a short walk to the Pantheon. There are several close grocery stores. We didn’t cook but had breakfast and wine and cheese in the apartment. The kitchen is in a cabinet so not too much room but fine for our needs. There are a lot of good restaurants nearby.

Wonderful Apartment in the Heart of Rome
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this wonderful property. Our host, Mariano, started communicating with us several days before we arrived to make sure we were all set for the stay. He met us at the property and gave us a detailed explanation of everything we needed to know for the property and the general area of the city. The apartment was clean and well-stocked with everything we needed for our 3 day stay and was a nice size for our family of 3. It’s located on a quaint street just a 5-10 minute walk from the Pantheon. We also were able to walk to the Colosseum, Spanish Steps, Campo de Fiori, Piazza Navona, Trastevere, and the Vatican. We didn’t use public transportation, but walked by both taxi stands and bus stops close to the apartment. There’s a supermarket conveniently located less than a block away and too many good restaurants and cafes to count in the area. The surrounding area was safe to explore and lively both during the day and in the evening. We would recommend the apartment to anyone traveling to Rome.

Amazing stay in Rome's Historic Center
I LOVED my stay at the Raffaello Inn during the first week of June. The front of the building, with its flowering ivy, looks like something from a fairy tale. The apartment in the 500-year-old building is comfortable, clean, and charming! Mariano greeted me when I arrived and gave me a thorough tour of the apartment, as well as tips on where to eat in the neighborhood. He was so friendly, funny, and welcoming! This location is fantastic—right near all the top sights. The next street over, there is a supermarket. I was able to save so much by getting a few groceries in and eating a few meals at "home," a cafe within a two-minute walk.

Quaint
The apartment was just as decribed, very lovely. Mariano was so easy to work with. He met us at the property and gave us a wonderful overview of the city. The location was nice. It was walking distance to most attractions. We took a cab to the colleseum and to Vatican City. If you prefer to stay in the middle of the action, you need to change locations. Unfortunately, we were unable to use the airconditioner (until June, we visited in May) due to the company in the area. Because we had to keep the windows open, there was much noise from traffic, sirens and a particular bird that kept making sounds all night long. My husband named it Doe-doe bird! People sometimes walk and talk in front of the property. Overall impression was good!! Thank you Mariano for everything!

Serenity in the City
The Raffello Inn is a charmingly decorated apartment in the perfect location. We could easily walk to the Pantheon, Spanish Steps, St. Peter’s and Trvi Fountain. Our hostess Neri was very gracious and responsive to our needs. She arranged a driver to take us to the airport after 4 glorious days in a well-appointed , quiet air-conditioned apartment. I will definitely recommend to family and friends staying in Rome.

Centrally located to all of the major sites in Rome! We were within walking distance to Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps, Pantheon, Capitoline Hill, Roman Forum, Colosseum, Palatine Hill, Vatican City and the Trastevere area known for their restaurants. But first... Neri was the best host! She was very accommodating to our schedule. We had previously booked tours that did not coincide with check in times and she worked with us to drop off our luggage at a time that worked with our schedule. Mariano met us at the apartment and he couldn't have been more accommodating... Making sure we knew where everything was, showing us all of the amenities of the apartment, how to use the keys / apartment access, and even made some great restaurant suggestions in Campo di Fiore! Overall a great experience, cute apartment, and perfect location. we will definitely be reaching out to Neri next time we come to Rome!

Close to it all!
Neri and Mariano were great! They are both friendly. Communication was consistent and timely. Airport service is provided for a fee and worth every Euro. They provided a binder with a list of restaurants and other items like a nearby grocery store and pharmacy. The apartment was clean and had good air conditioning! Walking distance to the Pantheon, Victor Emmanuel Monument, the Colosseum, Forum, Trevi Fountain, Piazza Navona, and the Spanish Steps. If not into walking, there is a taxi stand within a 5-10 minute walk.

Great apartment and location
We loved this apartment and location. It is in a great Rome neighborhood, wishing walking distance of the Pantheon and Piazza Nuvona. The check-in was so easy and our host Mariano helped us with our luggage. The apartment is located on the first floor and there is a lift if needed. Mariano also offered to take us to the airport, which was convenient since it was o early in the morning. We only stayed 2 nights in this location and would stay there again on a return trip. I would highly recommend.

Host profile image
Ciao, sono Mariano!
I graduated in Sciences of Public Communication, Business and Advertising at the University of Rome La Sapienza.
Then I became a dad of two beautiful children who are now at the beginning of their journey.
Afterwards, we were lucky enough to have our home,a little gem in the heart of Rome, we renovated it with our hands and from the hands of our children, furnished with our style to give a warm welcome and the best experience.

Why they chose this property

The legend says:
that many times ago arround 1500's once the Pope in Rome needed someone to paint the bedrooms walls inside of Vatican building, there was reputation of a painter near Florence in that years 1500's. So he called Raffaello Sanzio in order to be able to see his talents and make him paint the rooms in the Vatican.
So it was ..
This building is from the 1500's, where our apartment is located, and it is said that Raffaello feld very special this Pantheon's area, and maybe he slept right here ..
Not by chance his tomb is inside of Pantheon's monument.
For us it is a great honor to bring his name to a genius of painting and make you feel like you are part of the legend!

What makes this property unique

This property, can make you a special guests.. There is inside a very positive energy.. for that
Our motto is:

Home is not a building.. it's a feeling!!

Come and try this experience!!
