Description:
Time and human neglect plunged the sixteenth-century Villa in solemn decadence. With competence and authentic passion, the historical building is finally restored and can be admired by visitors. Expert gardeners have skilfully redesigned the Italian Garden and the 15.000 sq. Woody park to match the patterns, followed centuries ago by the original architect. From windows, lounges and terraces, the Villa offers spectacular views. At sunset, on the horizon, the sea sparkles with the shimmering reflection of the dying sun, and on the other side, Rome becomes alive with twinkling lights. The early comments on the Villa built at the foot of the Tusculum Hill go back to the beginning of the 17th Century. It was considered one of the most prestigious of the whole area. In one of the rooms, Ciampelli pictured the Villa itself framed in a rustic scene. The choice of a side prospect enhances the elegance of the form with the two side towers projecting forward from the central body: this picture did certainly strengthen a positive opinion on the architecture of the Villa. The Villa presents an articulated plan, featuring two avant-corps, and a central tower shaped body. Is U-shaped architecture seems inspired by Villa Farnesina, a masterpiece by Baldasare Peruzzi, in Roma. The central body itself brings to mind some period on commission of Pope Gregorius XIII. Without a doubt the construction of the Villa has been commissioned by Carafa, as can be read on a memorial stone reporting a brief by Gregorius XIII, that consecrates the chapel to St.John the Baptist, dated 1580.
