About Villa Medici

The beautiful Villa Medici is in the heart of Rome on Pincio Hill at the top the famous Spanish Steps and next to the Villa Borghese estate. The house has witnessed a considerable amount during its 2000 year history and has itself had multiple transformations.

Originally part of the 'Gardens of Lucullus', the property was used as a military camp during the Byzantine Empire period. It was acquired by Cardinal Ferdinando de' Medici (also taking his name) in 1576 who went on to renovate it working with Bartolomeo Ammanati. It has been owned by the French State since the 1800's and housed an academy there since.

You can enjoy the Renaissance gardens which offer amazing views of Rome, as well as the gallery that is home to some incredible art that was collected by the late Cardinal Ferdinando de' Medici. The collection is around 400 pieces and includes paintings, tapestries, busts and sculptures, amongst others.

You can see the grand staircase which is covered with statues and other regal decorations. Enjoy the Reception Rooms and the furnishings inside which include frescoes, tapestries and period furniture.

Architecture fans can also enjoy the property and its various forms including stucco work, marble floors as well as the restorations that took place in the 17th century when the French took ownership of the property.

It also hosts various exhibitions and events throughout the year where you can also enjoy temporary exhibitions, concerts as well as temporary artist residencies that are sometime open to enjoy.
