Villa Farnese
The Villa Farnese is located in a small town called Caparola. It was built for Cardinal Alessandro Farnese who eventually became Pope. It is a huge Renaissance Villa that served as a place to entertain guests and throw parties. Our tour guide/security lady kind of rushed us through the building so I didn't get a lot of photos of the interiors. Each room is covered in paintings that cover things like tales of Alexander the Great, ancient Roman myths, and important moments for the Farnese Family.
