Villa Farnesina, Renaissance villa in Trastevere, Italy
The Villa Farnesina features frescoes on all interior walls, with paintings by Raphael decorating the ground floor loggia galleries.
Sienese banker Agostino Chigi commissioned architect Baldassare Peruzzi to design this suburban residence, with construction beginning in 1506.
The interior decoration program includes mythological scenes from classical literature, reflecting the Renaissance period's interest in ancient Roman and Greek texts.
The villa opens Monday through Saturday from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM, with additional hours on the second Sunday of each month.
The Salone delle Prospettive contains illusionistic frescoes that create a panoramic view of sixteenth-century Rome through painted columns.
