House of Farnesina, Ancient Roman residence in Trastevere, Rome, Italy
The House of Farnesina features refined frescoes adorning its walls and ceilings, displaying classical scenes from Roman mythology throughout its chambers.
Construction of the residence began in 1506 under banker Agostino Chigi, later passing to Cardinal Alessandro Farnese in 1577, giving the structure its current name.
The Loggia of Cupid and Psyche contains a series of paintings depicting mythological narratives, reflecting the Renaissance interest in classical literature and art.
Visitors can access all decorated rooms of the house during regular opening hours, with guided tours available in multiple languages through advance reservation.
The Hall of Perspectives contains an early example of trompe l'oeil technique, creating optical illusions that transform flat walls into apparent three-dimensional spaces.
