Toss a coin into the Trevi Fountain, contemplate the Colosseum and the Pantheon, and sample a perfect espresso or gelato before spending an afternoon shopping at the Campo de’Fiori or Via Veneto. Enjoy some of the most memorable meals of your life here, too, from fresh pasta to succulent fried artichokes or a tender oxtail stew.

My carefully planned visit to the Villa Farnesina did not disappoint me. I easily bought my ticket at the entrance and was enjoying the frescoes almost alone. The Renaissance Villa owned by the banker Agostino Chigi, is truly magnificent and the courtyard with orange and lemon trees is such a lovely place to relax on a warm day. The frescoes by Raphael, Sebastiano del Piombo, Giulio Romano, and Sodoma are spectacular ... especially, Rafael’s “Cupid and Psyche” and “The Triumph of Galatea”. There was also the Leonardo da Vinci exhibit at the adjacent building: the photographic images of all Leonardo’s paintings. I was surprised how many of them I have seen in all my travels. The exhibit is included in the Villa Farnesina ticket price.

This is the old style layout with paintings covering all walls. Just take the guide leaflet and work your way through. In the first room, one painting seemed more recent, it wasn't it was simply the work of Artemisia Gentileschi. Between daughter and father so many wonderful paintings to be seen. Take your time and enjoy, and maybe do what we did and head for the Galleria Spada.

The most significant aspects of popular Roman life during the end of the eighteenth and the nineteenth centuries are to be found here, filtered through the tastes and beliefs of the artists and folklorists who represented it.
