Beautiful musical evening in a magnificent setting! It swings! An excellent Italian clarinetist capable of rising very high in the treble without tearing out the ears, 2 marvelous guitarists, 1 original Italian accordionist and a tireless bass cellist ..... an unforgettable atmosphere!

Beautiful exterior but modernized interior housing some works of art. Not for lovers of old stones. I salute all the same the municipality for the effort of rehabilitation in cultural place.

We were not able to visit the castle because it was closed on Mondays, but on the other hand we discussed with the secretary of the town hall who explained to us what there was to visit: it is to be seen. Very well received at the town hall which is right next to the castle

Very nice renovation. Congratulations to the "Friends of the castle". ?? It is a magnificent setting for the exhibitions presented there. Too bad it's a bit remote, but it's worth the trip.

Villa d'Este

The Villa d'Este is a 16th-century villa in Tivoli, near Rome, famous for its terraced hillside Italian Renaissance garden and especially for its profusion of fountains: the extraordinary system contains fifty-one fountains and nymphaeums, 398 spouts, 364 water jets, 64 waterfalls, and 220 basins, fed by 875 meters of canals, channels and cascades, and all working entirely by the force of gravity, without pumps. It is now an Italian state museum, and is listed as a UNESCO world heritage site.

Tivoli had been a popular summer residence since ancient Roman times due to its altitude, cooler temperatures and its proximity to the Villa Hadriana, the summer residence of the Emperor Hadrian I.

The Villa was commissioned by Cardinal Ippolito II d'Este (1509-1572), second son of Alfonso I d'Este, the Duke of Ferrara and grandson of Pope Alexander VI, along with Lucrezia Borgia.
