Description
Rare example of a Renaissance suburban villa, it stands in an area rich of testimonies of the imperial republican era. It was used as a hospital at the beginning of the 14th century, then as a monastery and finally, in the mid 19th century, it became a country inn. Probably the link with Cardinal Bessarione, humanist and bishop of Tuscolo, is due to the fact that the near Church of S. Cesareo pertained to the bishopric of Tuscolo. The façade has two Guelf-cross large windows and a loggia. Inside are two large frescoed salons decorated with renaissance works. The restorations have brought back the ancient splendour of the inner decoration and the nice Italian-style garden.
