Renaissance Villas and Gardens of Rome Countryside
This excursion is a good option if you have already been to Rome and wish to escape the crowded capital for those relaxing Renaissance gems surrounded by a beautiful Roman countryside
Perhaps not as well-known as those in Tuscany, the villas of Latium are
often just as breathtaking, combining peace and quiet with
architectural harmony. A one hour drive from Civitavecchia towards the inland
lakes, will allow you to admire places where the Farnese family did not
fail to show off their power outside of the eternal city.
As you
stroll through the narrow streets of the Caprarola town (its
inhabitants were mainly the servants of the palace) while approaching
the façade of the actual palace, it is not difficult to feel
insignificant.
The Caprarola palace was designed and decorated to
not have a square inch without a stucco, a grotesque, or a fresco.
Climb the famous Royal Staircase to reach the upper frescoed rooms: the
main feature is in fact the "Sala del Mappamondo" depicting map of the
two hemispheres of the known world in late XVI century.
After a
lunch break in a typical trattoria and a short drive, you will visit
Villa Lante, built within ten years by the same architect of Villa
Caprarola. Although both exalt the glory of their owners, this one
does it in a different way. Its fame comes from its gardens filled with
water features. The park is a fine example of giochi d'acqua, from
cascades to fountains and dripping grottos. Refreshing, especially in
the summer, it provides the visitor with verdant, clean and fresh world
filled with unexpected vistas, perfect for your Kodak moments.
