In 1605, Cardinal Scipione Caffarelli Borghese bought a vineyard with the ambition of transforming it into an immense park. At the instigation of this nephew of the Borghese pope, the architects Flamingo Ponzio and Giovanni Vasanzio created sublime gardens, complete with fountains and sculptures.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rome wasn\u2019t built in a day<\/strong>\u2026 and the metamorphosis took no less than 15 years. At the same time as this area was being developed, a villa was built, the famous Villa Borghese. It was completed in 1933. In the 19th century, the park adopted a more English style. Although influential, the Borghese family decided to sell the park to the State at the beginning of the last century, as they could no longer afford the upkeep costs. In 1903, the park became public, welcoming the whole of Rome and travellers from all over the world.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/magazine.luxus-plus.com\/en\/discover-romes-villa-borghese-an-ode-to-italian-art-in-a-lush-park-and-museums\/\">Click here to read the full article<\/a> on Luxus Magazine.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ad4c3fa elementor-widget__width-inherit elementor-widget-tablet__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-fox_single_content\" data-id=\"ad4c3fa\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"fox_single_content.default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n<div class=\"el-single-content allow-stretch-full allow-stretch-bigger\">\n<div class=\"article-content\">\n<div class=\"initial-letter\">\n<p>Featured photo : \u00a9 Deiziane Silva \u2013 Unsplash<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is one of Rome\u2019s most iconic destinations.
