Villa Giustiniani Massimo, Historic villa near Lateran Square, Rome, Italy
Villa Giustiniani Massimo features a two-story structure with a ground-floor loggia and first-floor gallery, decorated with ancient sarcophagi and classical reliefs on its facade.
Marquis Vincenzo Giustiniani commissioned the villa's construction between 1605 and 1618 on former vineyard land, transforming it into an estate with extensive art collections.
The ground floor rooms contain frescoes by the Nazarene movement artists, depicting scenes from Dante's Divine Comedy, Ariosto's Orlando Furioso, and Tasso's works.
The villa stands at Via Matteo Boiardo 16 in Rome and currently serves as the headquarters for the Delegation of the Holy Land Custody.
The western facade displays a third-century sarcofagus depicting the myth of Achilles and Scyros, positioned above the main portal.
