Rain Nymphaeum and Domus Tiberiana Reopening/Reopened in Rome

Posted by (Washington DC) on

The Ninfeo della Pioggia (Rain Nymphaeum) on the Palatine Hill in Rome will reopen November 1st. It's been closed for decades.. Visitors will now have access to its 16th-century frescoes and ancient sculptures.

The article also mentions the recent reopening of the Domus Tiberiana. A few more details can be found in this second article:

I imagine tickets are available from the Colosseum website, but it's not active right now so I cannot confirm that.

I just dealt with this while purchasing tickets for next week: The Domus Tiberiana is considered one of the S.U.P.E.R. sites within the Forum/Palantine Hill, so it's not enough to have a standard Colosseum ticket to access those sites. You either need one of the full experience tickets or the "forum pass super additional fee," which is a 4 Euro supplement that supposedly adds the SUPER sites to a standard Colosseum ticket - I confirmed this over the phone while looking for tickets attached to a blocked sending email address [thank you AT&T - gmail works much better]. What's a bit weird is that the 4 Euro supplement requires a timed entry, which is inconsistent with the open policy of the Forum/Palantine Hill.

The other option is the Forum Pass SUPER Ticket, which includes the SUPER sites, but NOT the Colosseum.

I don't see any reference to the Ninfeo della Pioggia at coopculture.it, so don't know whether it will be considered another Super site.
