The Beach

We are Federica and Antonio and on 14 June 2018 we took over Il Patio, one of the oldest bathing establishments in Fregene. For us and our five children, it was the exciting realization of a dream we had been cherishing for a long time.

The first owners, the family Pascali, had built the plant with characteristic wavy lines after, in 1946, the beach was demined by bombs placed by the Germans to protect a possible allied landing that, Instead, it took place at Anzio.

Impossible not to offer a tribute to Emma Pascali, first woman-lifeguard of Italy and guide of the bathing association of Fregene.

Under his management the Patio has been very popular, becoming a destination for the rest of many important characters as Frank Sinatra, frequenter of the beach in 1955.

Actually for Emma the customers were all the same and wanted everyone to have their own corner of tranquility. The same kind of respect for the person and their privacy that we also want to offer.
