Roma, Villa Medici - Silk Set in a luxuriant garden, with fountains, seasoned trees and shady avenues down which the ghosts of its illustrious guests seem still to roam, Villa Medici was once the elegant strong-box in which a Renaissance prince — Ferdinando de´ Medici — garnered his treasures. Today it is a corner of France on Italian soil, a sanctuary of French art and culture in the Eternal City.
