Villa Medici - Accademia di Francia a Roma

A guided tour of Villa Medici reveals one of the finest examples of a Renaissance villa, once the residence of Cardinal Ferdinando I de’ Medici and, since 1803, home to the French Academy in Rome. The tour traces the history of the site from its ancient origins to the major transformations of the Renaissance and contemporary eras. During the visit you will be able to explore the emblematic places of Villa Medici, such as the historic gardens and rooms, as well as the more hidden corners, such as the studiolo of Ferdinando de’ Medici, also known as the “Bird Room.” Located on the Pincio Hill, Villa Medici also offers a breathtaking view of the historic center of Rome.
