Description

The ETRU National Etruscan Museum is housed in two magnificent Renaissance villas.

Villa Giulia
Constructed by Pope Julius III, Giovanni Maria Ciocchi del Monte, between 1550 and 1555, Villa Giulia is a stunning Renaissance villa featuring a landscaped garden with terraces connected by spectacular stairways, nymphaea and fountains.

The greatest artists of the era – Jacopo Barozzi da Vignola, Bartolomeo Ammannati, Giorgio Vasari and Michelangelo Buonarroti – were involved in the design of the Villa, while some decorative elements were produced by Taddeo Zuccari and Prospero Fontana.
 
The hemicycle is decorated with subtle paintings inspired by the grotesques of Rome’s Domus Aurea. The rooms contain an extraordinary series of frescoes with depictions of the Seven Hills of Rome.
In 1889, the Villa became the seat of the National Etruscan Museum.

Villa Poniatowski

The Villa was inaugurated in 2012 and is ETRU’s second branch. Its rooms feature exhibits from Latium Vetus and Umbria. A refurbishment is underway on a large area that will be used for temporary exhibitions.
 
It was transformed into a villa at the start of the 19th century by Giuseppe Valadier at the behest of Stanislaw Poniatowski, the nephew of the last King of Poland. With its main façade overlooking via Flaminia, the Villa is embellished with pools and fountains, while the large stepped terrace garden is adorned with ancient sculptures.
 
A number of discoveries were made during the refurbishment works in 1997, including the unearthing of the remains of the Villa’s original 16th century structure, the remains of two fountains, fixtures from pools and fountains, as well as pictorial and decorative elements.
