EDITORS COMMENTS
Villa Mattei, also known as Villa Coeli Montana, is a stunning example of Italian architecture and gardening artistry, as captured in this beautiful print by Rossi. Dating back to 1582, the villa was built by Ciriaco Mattei and showcases a series of formal Italian gardens and buildings that have stood the test of time. The print offers a glimpse into the grandeur of the villa's par terre, or ground floor, with its intricately designed gardens and architectural features. The centerpiece of the villa's gardens is a labyrinthine maze, a popular feature in Italian gardens of the time, which adds an element of mystery and intrigue. The maze is surrounded by lush greenery and adorned with statues and obelisks, adding to the overall sense of elegance and refinement. One of the most striking features of the villa is the towering obelisk, which stands proudly in the center of the gardens. Obelisks were a common feature in Italian gardens of the 1600s, symbolizing power, wealth, and the connection between the earthly and divine realms. The obelisk at Villa Mattei is a testament to the villa's historical significance and its role as a symbol of the Italian Renaissance. The print also reveals the villa's impressive collection of statuary, which adds to the villa's artistic and historical value. The statues, which depict mythological figures and gods, are strategically placed throughout the gardens, adding to the overall aesthetic appeal and enhancing the sense of grandeur and refinement. The villa, which is located in the outskirts of Rome, has a rich history that spans over four centuries. It is a must-see destination for anyone interested in Italian history, art, and architecture. This beautiful print by Rossi offers a glimpse into the villa's past, transporting us back to a time of elegance, refinement, and artistic expression.
