In peace and quiet, the emperor could make informed decisions about the administration of the empire, and the villa became the center of control of the vast Roman Empire. The grandiose and fantastic design of the villa complex was conceived by Adrian as a combination of different architectural styles that he saw in his travels around the empire. The territory of the estate is huge, it is twice the size of the city of Pompeii. The emperor was a versatile man, you will learn about his life, career and artistic tastes.

Villa D'Este built in the XVI century, it is known for its exquisite beauty.

His desire to take the papal throne was not destined to come true.
