Columbus is a residential district in Rome, Italy, in Balduina, located north of the city centre.
In the past, the Columbus area was part of one of the largest estates outside Porta Angelica: the Pigneto estate, owned by the Sacchetti family, originally from Florence, who settled in Rome around the mid-1500s. The estate had a rural and a manorial part, the latter featuring a noble casino (built between 1625 and 1630) by Pietro da Cortona, now destroyed. It was a complex adorned with loggias, statues, nymphs, and water fountains, creating a strong scenic impact.
The reasons for the early and rapid abandonment of the building and estate (between the 17th and 18th centuries) leading to the destruction of the casino are uncertain. In 1861, the Sacchetti family sold the entire estate to Prince Alessandro Torlonia.
The neighborhood emerged during the economic boom years as a residential center surrounded by greenery, initially called "Villa del Pineto" or "Parco di Balduina." It was built by the "Società Edilizia Pineto," owned by the Torlonia family and the Società generale immobiliare.
The current name comes from the Columbus Integrated Complex, a hospital structure that was once private, established in the 1960s and initially named "Clinica «G. Moscati»" (the road leading to it is still named after Giuseppe Moscati). Later, it became "Clinica Columbus," and since the 2000s, the complex has been managed by the Agostino Gemelli University Polyclinic. Presently, the neighborhood is overseen by a private consortium and is part of the urban area 19F Pineto, with 1452 residents out of a total of 1921.

The Church of the Gesù is the mother church of the Society of Jesus (Jesuits), a Catholic religious order. Officially named Chiesa del Santissimo Nome di Gesù, its façade is "the first truly baroque façade", introducing the baroque style into architecture. The church served as a model for innumerable Jesuit churches all over the world, especially in Central Europe and in Portuguese colonies. Its paintings in the nave, crossing, and side chapels became models for art in Jesuit churches throughout Italy and Europe, as well as those of other orders. The Church of the Gesù is located at the Piazza del Gesù in Rome, and is one of the great 17th century preaching churches built by Counter-Reformation orders like the Jesuits in the Centro Storico.
The Villa Albani is a villa in Rome, built on the Via Salaria for Cardinal Alessandro Albani. It was built between 1747 and 1767 by the architect Carlo Marchionni in a project heavily influenced by others – such as Giovanni Battista Nolli, Giovanni Battista Piranesi and Johann Joachim Winckelmann – to house Albani's collection of antiquities, curated by Winckelmann. The villa has been conserved intact into the 21st century by the Torlonia Family, who bought it in 1866. In 1870, the treaty following the Capture of Rome from the Papal States was signed here.
