Villa Lante al Gianicolo, Renaissance villa on Janiculum Hill, Rome, Italy
The villa features a balanced structure with Tuscan columns, Ionic pilasters, and a reception hall overlooking the city of Rome from its hilltop position.
Constructed between 1518 and 1525 for Baldassarre Turini, a papal official, the villa was designed by Giulio Romano following the death of his master Raphael.
The interior contains frescoes by Vincenzo Tamagni depicting Raphael's portraits and muses, alongside stucco work attributed to Giovanni da Udine.
The property now houses both the Institutum Romanum Finlandiae and the Embassy of Finland to the Holy See, operating under Finnish state ownership since 1950.
Inscribed in the loggia is an epigram by Roman poet Martial, who once lived on this site, describing the view of Rome's seven hills.
