Hotel de la Ville, Rome
Hotel de la Ville opened in 2019 and stands as Rocco Forte Hotels' Roman address on Via Sistina, alongside the renowned Hotel de Russie on Via del Babuino. The iconic 18th-century palace, perched atop the Trinità dei Monti, underwent a complete renovation under the guidance of architect Tommaso Ziffer and Olga Polizzi, the company's Director of Design. Hotel de la Ville offers a contemporary cultural insight to the Grand Tour period in Europe, paying homage to the historic journeys of European aristocrats and nobles across the continent. The hotel boasts 104 rooms and suites, featuring a vibrant piazza within the heart of the hotel. The space not only bridges the two buildings envisioned by Englishman George Carter, but also stands as a unique example of linear geometry, drawing inspiration from 17th-century Italian and French formal gardens. Restaurants and Bar menus have been meticulously crafted under the guidance of Fulvio Pierangelini, Rocco Forte Hotels' Creative Director of Food. From the grand classics of Italian tradition served at the gourmet restaurant Mosaico, to the avant-garde mixology of the Julep Bar and the buzzing rooftop bar Cielo Terrace, culinary offerings tantalise even the most discerning palates.

Fulvio Pierangelini
It is hard to imagine Fulvio Pierangelini (Rome, 1953) as anything other than Italy's top chef. Yet, as a young university student, he worked as a labourer, night porter and sailing instructor in seasonal resorts to pay for his studies. After graduating, he decided to indulge his passion for cooking, discovered when he slowly approached kitchens during the different types of work done. Discovering his innate talent, a fundamental learning experience was at Mougins, on the Côte d'Azur, under Roger Vergé, one of the brightest stars of French cuisine. In 1980, he took over 'Il Gambero Rosso', a modest trattoria on the harbour, an adventure that lasted around 30 years and took him to the top of the catering world, achieving important goals such as being named the best chef in Italy by the leading national and international gastronomic guides. His signature dish is still the famous 'Passatina di ceci e gamberi' (chickpea and prawn veloutée), giving a different view of haute cuisine, although he is equally well known for including more daily dishes in his menus - 'Pasta al pomodoro' (pasta with tomatoes) is guaranteed - bringing in new respect to individual ingredients, previously considered inappropriate. Fulvio Pierangelini is loved for his research and recipes, which focus on the essence and not on mathematical perfection. Chef Fulvio’s creative personality and his great charisma, combined with his expertise in ingredients, have led to his global success. For food critics, both at home and abroad, Fulvio loves spreading the message of great cuisine, his mission since 2009 in the role of Creative Director of Food for Rocco Forte Hotels’ bars and restaurants. Fulvio Pierangelini has designed the menus for the restaurants of Hotel Savoy, Hotel de Russie, Verdura Resort, Hotel de La Ville, Masseria Torre Maizza, Villa Igiea, Hotel Amigo in Brussels, Hotel de Rome in Berlin and the Charles in Monaco. Each restaurant has its own identity and its own story to tell through the menus designed by Chef Pierangelini, who focuses his menus on the ingredients and flavours of each region.
