Rome’s beauty is not only carved in stone but grown in the lush greenery that has framed its history for centuries. The exhibition "Villas and Gardens of Rome: A Crown of Delights" invites you to explore the evolution of the city’s most iconic parks. Featuring nearly 190 works; including rare paintings and historical views; you will witness how gardens served as expressions of power and prestige for popes and princes. From the Renaissance "vigne" of Raphael to the Baroque theatricality of Villa Borghese, this curated journey at Museo di Roma provides an unmatched perspective on the city’s urban and aesthetic transformation.
The exhibition is divided into six chronological sections, enhanced by immersive multimedia and interactive maps that bridge the gap between historical documents and contemporary reality. You will encounter the visionary works of Caspar van Wittel and the modern designs of Raffaele de Vico, understanding how private "otium" evolved into public leisure. This experience is designed to satisfy your thirst for historical depth, revealing the secrets of legendary estates like Villa Medici and the vanished gardens that once graced the banks of the Tiber.
Experience the unique atmosphere of a city that blooms and breathes! Book your stay at Antico Albergo del Sole al Pantheon to find yourself in the beating heart of Roman beauty.
