Begun in 1567 by Martino Lunghi for Cardinal Marco Altempo, enlarged by Pope Gregory VII. , and finished by Paul V. And his nephew, Cardinal Scipione Borgese. The magnificent loggia by Vignola and the water theatre by Giovanni Fontana are the chief features. The latter, though in a ruinous state, still bears traces of its mosaics, its surprise fountains and the reliefs in its niches. There is a fine fountain on the terrace at the back of the house, and from here may be seen the beginning of the... cypress avenue which these princes of the church intended to continue the whole way, in a straight line, to Rome. The curious columns at the corners of this terrace 152 Old Gardens of Italy are the kitchen chimneys, the house having an extra storey below on this side, as it is built against a slope. VILLA MUTI, FRASCATI. A MILE or two out, on the Grotta Ferrata road. Freely shown. A most interesting garden, though changed in detail from its original state. It is on three levels, and its box maze is the best of the kind in Italy.
