What an incredible Palazzo. When you walk up to the Palace, you would never guess how amazing the inside is. Frescoes in every room on walls and ceilings. The hexagon outside hides a round piazza in the inside. very unusual and wonderful to see. The amount of frescoes are nearly to many to take them all in.

Absolutely fantastic palace with great frescoes, including a map room. Wonderful gardens - with a fantastic garden extension at the top of the garden, which could easily be missed.

This very large villa/palace is an amazing place to visit, which till now relatively few do (certainly compared to the French embassy in Rome, when parts of it are open to the public). The richness is hard to describe (and there is a good illustrated description on the web. For a combination fortress, renaissance show-off palace and beautiful art, this is worth a day trip (takes a while to get there)…
