Villa Torlonia, Renaissance villa in Frascati, Italy
Villa Torlonia features multiple levels of terraced gardens adorned with fountains, sculptures, and architectural elements from the Renaissance and Baroque periods.
The original property was donated in 1563 to Annibal Caro, who dedicated his final years to translating the Aeneid within its walls.
The gardens of Villa Torlonia attracted numerous artists, including John Singer Sargent, who created watercolor paintings depicting its architectural grandeur.
The villa grounds function as a public park since 1954, following a property exchange between Duke Andrea Torlonia and the Mayor of Frascati.
During World War II, the villa endured extensive bombing damage and housed an SS detachment, marking a dark period in its long history.
