VILLA GABRIELLI AL GIANICOLO IN ROME

Villa Gabrielli al Gianicolo is an urban villa in Rome, whose perimeter is today the offices of the Pontifical North American College, the Pontifical Urban College of Propaganda Fide and the Pontifical Urbanian University.

After the Second World War, which had become insufficient for the various seminaries in Rome, it was decided to transfer to Villa Gabrielli all the activities of the Pontifical North American College of Education and form Catholic priests.
The College welcomes seminarians and priests of US nationality, though students of other nationalities may be exceptionally admitted.
At the signing of the Lateran Pact (1929), the entire territory of the villa was included among the extraterritorial areas of the Vatican City, a situation that still persists today.

Since April 2014, along with other eleven properties, it has obtained the privilege of extraterritoriality and the exemption from expropriations and tributes.
