A mixture of natural beauty and the creations of great minds and artists can be found visiting two villas just outside Rome.
Villa D'Este was created for a very powerful Cardinal, Ippolito D'Este, and has luxurious gardens with fountains which are all gravity-powered, a miracle of hydraulic engineering.
Hadrian's Villa was the estate-retreat built by Emperor Hadrian, sprawling over 300 acres, larger than the Vatican State. It is a miniature city and an oversized house at the same time. Villa Adriana combines all the essential attributes of timeless architecture: the romantic set-up, the correspondence of building and landscape and all the elements of construction - arch, wall, column and space. It will give you insight to Emperor Hadrian's life-style and interest in architecture and art during the 2nd century A.D.
