Villa Pigneto del Marchese Sacchetti, Baroque villa ruins in Pineta Sacchetti, Italy
The Villa Pigneto del Marchese Sacchetti featured three-tiered gardens connected by symmetric staircases at the foot of Monte Mario in Rome.
Cardinal Giulio Sacchetti commissioned architect Pietro da Cortona to construct this suburban residence in 1630, marking an early period of Roman Baroque architecture.
The interior walls displayed frescoes depicting Stories of David, painted by Pietro da Cortona himself, representing religious narratives of the period.
The remaining foundations of the villa lie partially underground within the current Pineta Sacchetti public park, accessible from Via della Pineta Sacchetti.
An underground aquifer beneath the structure contributed to its rapid deterioration, leading the Sacchetti family to abandon the property by 1747.
