Villa Ludovisi, 17th-century villa near Porta Salaria, Rome, Italy
The Villa Ludovisi complex features baroque architecture with a central avenue flanked by cypress trees and decorated parterres spread across 2,800 square meters.
Cardinal Ludovico Ludovisi constructed the villa in 1622 on former vineyards purchased from Giovanni Antonio Orsini to house his collection of Roman antiquities.
The Casino dell'Aurora contains ceiling paintings by Caravaggio and frescoes by Guercino that represent notable examples of Italian baroque art.
The property stands between Villa Borghese and Via Veneto, with recent attempts to sell it through multiple auctions starting at 471 million euros.
The excavation during construction revealed numerous Roman artifacts, adding to Cardinal Ludovisi's collection, including sculptures restored by Alessandro Algardi.
