“The Mystical Reflections of Villa Borghese Rome”…

Villa Borghese in Roma is a famous Gardens and Museum begun in the early 17th century, highlighted by a "Temple of Aesculapius” at the garden lake. The Temple is located in the gardens of Borghese in Roma and was styled in the ionic characteristic by Antonio Asprucci. The temple was perhaps built-in memory of the destroyed ancient temple to the god of Medicine on Tiber Island. The temple houses a statue of Aesculapius believed to be originally from the Mausoleum of Augustus. Neglected over the centuries, it was restored by Vincenzo Pacetti and sold to Marcantonio Borghese IV in 1785. Stretching from above Piazza del Popolo to the top of Via Veneto, Villa Borghese crowns Rome in a glorious canopy of Green. Despite the onward march of the years and extensive developmental changes to Rome, Villa Borghese has remained a perennial and pleasant space, diluting the impact of an otherwise ever-expanding urban Metropolis. The Park was originally a private vineyard, redesigned and enlarged in 1605 to grandiose proportions for Pope Paul V's nephew, the Cardinal Scipione Borghese. However, it was named after the Borghese family on the condition that it boasted the most luxurious and magnificent dwelling in Rome. Visiting the very spaciously plush park and lovely atmosphere of tall secluding lavish trees, blissful gardens, and colorful reflective lakes, one is taken away from the city life and transported to a serene country paradise. Peace and relaxation encompass the body and soul and gives time and rumination of the historical and religious world capital which is the ever Eternal City of Roma.
