Villa Falconieri

His aim was for him and his brother, Cardinal Lelio Falconieri, to be buried there[1] Important architects worked on the design such as Antonio da Sangallo the Younger and Borromini.

The interior houses frescoes by Pier Leone Ghezzi, Giacinto Calandrucci, Ciro Ferri, Niccolò Berrettoni, and others.

[2] In 1905, the Villa was bought by the German banker Ernst von Mendelssohn-Bartholdy of Berlin, a nephew of the composer Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy.

Villa Falconieri was damaged by US bombing during World War II while being used as the headquarters of Field Marshal Albert Kesselring, but masterly work restored its previous splendor.

[citation needed] Since 2016, Villa Falconieri has been the headquarters of the Accademia Vivarium Novum Latin academy, a cultural center of excellence that has entrusted the decoration of its rooms to an appreciated re-adaptation of classical symbolism, giving the Villa Falconieri an iconographic experience linked to the international vocation of this world campus of Humanism.
