to convert the small building into a residence with huge windows, loggias, porticos and turrets, decorated with majolica and stained glass. From 1916 the building began to be known as the "House of the Little Owls", probably because the motif of the little owl is used widely in the decorations and furnishings. The Casina delle Civette can be visited as part of the museum. The twenty rooms include 54 pieces of stained glass replaced, after restoration, in their original positions, 18 pieces of stained glass acquired and displayed on separate frames, and 105 sketches and preparatory cartoons for stained glass. The theatre Alessandro Torlonia commissioned Teatro Villa Torlonia in 1841, and it was completed in 1873. The building was constructed under the guidance of architect Quintiliano Raimondi. The interior of the building was decorated by Constantino Brumidi. It sustained damage after the war during the allied occupation, and remained derelict until it was restored and reopened in 2013. Before the Covid-19 pandemic beginning in early 2020, the theatre hosted occasional public performances.
