Villa Lante

Villa Lante is one of the greatest masterpieces of the Italian sixteenth century (22 hectares). Its extraordinary peculiarity is the predominance of the garden compared to the architectural building: the residence splits into two small twin buildings symmetrical with respect to the central axis of the garden that dominates the entire composition across the water path. The water comes from a triumph of geometries designed by evergreen hedges and peperino statues and follows a path that creates special basins and water games.
