Day Trip to Tivoli, Italy
With its cool climate and plentiful springs, the town of Tivoli has been a popular retreat for Roman elites since ancient times. To get an idea of what near-limitless wealth could get you during two very different eras, we recommend visiting the town’s two UNESCO-listed villas, Villa d’Este and Hadrian’s Villa. Occasional seat of power at the height of the Roman empire, Hadrian’s Villa housed several thousand workers amidst temples, gardens, pools, and theaters. Villa D’Este is the epitome of Renaissance architecture. Exploring its countless fountains and seemingly endless gardens is a peaceful, if awe-inspiring, experience. We offer a small group tour that takes you through the scenic countryside of Lazio to Tivoli. Explore Tivoli on a custom tour of Italy with JayWay Travel:

Places to see in ( Tivoli - Italy )
Places to see in ( Tivoli - Italy )
Tivoli is situated on the Aniene river to the east of Rome, in the Monti Tiburtini hills where the climate is fresher than Rome's. For this reason, the area was popular from ancient times onwards with Rome's moneyed classes, who built summer retreats in the area. As the town was on a major trading route from Rome to the Abruzzi, Tivoli has always been an important settlement. Modern Tivoli has around 50,000 inhabitants, and spreads out far beyond the crumblingly picturesque historical centre. In the suburb of Bagni di Tivoli, on the plains below the town centre, it is still possible to bathe in natural thermal springs. The fourth century BC town wall is still visible, as are temples from the second century BC.
There is plenty to occupy the visitor in Tivoli for a day, even if they miss out one of the two famous villas. Travellers keen to see all the sights of the area should note that the Villa Adriana is actually a bus ride outside town; and they may find their day stretched to an uncomfortable length. Some visitors choose to stay in Tivoli, away from the bustle of Rome; if you are very keen on spending a long time at the monuments, or planning to travel onwards through Italy this may be an option worth considering.
The Renaissance Villa d'Este was built in the 1550s for Cardinal Ippolito d'Este, the son of Lucretia Borgia. Built over a Benedictine convent, the palace was intended for entertaining and contains lavishly frescoed reception rooms. The main attraction for visitors, however, is the breathtaking garden. Designed to impress the Cardinal's guests, the Villa d'Este's gardens are composed almost exclusively of water features. Fountains of every description dazzle the onlooker, from the grand 'Fountain of the Dragons' and 'Hundred Fountains', to a miniature watery reproduction of Rome. The centrepiece, the gigantic Water Organ Fountain, cascades down a huge drop into quiet, shady pools.
For those with an interest in antiquities, the Villa Adriana is worth a day to itself. The Emperor Hadrian conceived a countryside dwelling here that would by normal standards be considered a town. A gigantic complex with underground service passages big enough for vehicles (tantalising glimpses are still visible), the Villa incorporates lakes, fountains, libraries, baths, temples and gardens. The area covered is staggering, and highly confusing even when armed with a map; it's easy to imagine the emperor himself asking for directions.
Villa Gregoriana is an impressive park set in a gorge with a 100m waterfall. The site has recently reopened to the public after restoration by the FAI (Italy's equivalent of the English National Trust, with free entry to NT members). It's a pleasant and shady place to ramble. Views over the gorge can be enjoyed from the Ponte Gregoriano.
Temple of Vesta and Temple of the Sybil - the characteristic round Temple of Vesta occupies a panoramic position above the valley of the Villa Gregoriana, about ten minutes' walk from the Villa d'Este. Ponte Gregoriano - there was a devastating flood in the 1800s; afterwards the river was diverted and this bridge was built. Tivoli Tourist Information Office is in Piazza Garibaldi close to the main bus stop and the Villa d'Este. Even if it's closed, you may be able to pick up maps and information.

Tivoli, Lazio
Tivoli is a town and comune in Lazio, central Italy, about 30 kilometres (19 miles) east-north-east of Rome, at the falls of the Aniene river where it issues from the Sabine hills. The city offers a wide view over the Roman Campagna.
Gaius Julius Solinus cites Cato the Elder's lost Origines for the story that the city was founded by Catillus the Arcadian, a son of Amphiaraus, who came there having escaped the slaughter at Thebes, Greece. Catillus and his three sons Tiburtus, Coras, and Catillus drove out the Siculi from the Aniene plateau and founded a city they named Tibur in honor of Tiburtus. According to a more historical account, Tibur was instead a colony of Alba Longa. Historical traces of settlement in the area date back to the 13th century BC. The city's name may share a common root with the river Tiber and the Latin praenomen Tiberius.
Virgil in his Aeneid makes Coras and the younger Catillus twin brothers and the leaders of military forces from Tibur aiding Turnus.
From Etruscan times Tibur, a Sabine city, was the seat of the Tiburtine Sibyl. There are two small temples above the falls, the rotunda traditionally associated with Vesta and the rectangular one with the Sibyl of Tibur, whom Varro calls Albunea, the water nymph who was worshipped on the banks of the Anio as a tenth Sibyl added to the nine mentioned by the Greek writers. In the nearby woods, Faunus had a sacred grove. During the Roman age Tibur maintained a certain importance, being on the way (the Via Tiburtina, extended as the Via Valeria) that Romans had to follow to cross the mountain regions of the Apennines towards the Abruzzo, the region where lived some of its fiercest enemies such as Volsci, Sabini and Samnites.

Places to see in ( Tivoli - Italy ) Villa d'Este
The Villa d'Este is a 16th-century villa in Tivoli, near Rome, famous for its terraced hillside Italian Renaissance garden and especially for its profusion of fountains. It is now an Italian state museum, and is listed as a UNESCO world heritage site.
Villa d’Este, masterpiece of the Italian Garden, is included in the UNESCO world heritage list. With its impressive concentration of fountains, nymphs, grottoes, plays of water, and music, it constitutes a much-copied model for European gardens in the mannerist and baroque styles.
The garden is generally considered within the larger –and altogether extraordinary-- context of Tivoli itself: its landscape, art and history which includes the important ruins of ancient villas such as the Villa Adriana, as well as a zone rich in caves and waterfalls displaying the unending battle between water and stone. The imposing constructions and the series of terraces above terraces bring to mind the hanging gardens of Babylon, one of the wonders of the ancient world. The addition of water-- including an aqueduct tunneling beneath the city -- evokes the engineering skill of the Romans themselves.
Cardinal Ippolito II d’Este, after the disappointment of a failed bid for the papacy, brought back to life here the splendor of the courts of Ferrara, Rome and Fontainebleau and revived the magnificence of Villa Adriana. Governor of Tivoli from 1550, he immediately nurtured the idea of realizing a garden in the hanging cliffs of the “Valle gaudente”, but it was only after 1560 that his architectural and iconographic program became clear—brainchild of the painter-architect-archeologist Pirro Ligorio and realized by court architect Alberto Galvani.
The rooms of the Palace were decorated under the tutelage of the stars of the late Roman Mannerism, such as Livio Agresti, Federico Zuccari, Durante Alberti, Girolamo Muziano, Cesare Nebbia and Antonio Tempesta. The work was almost complete at the time of the Cardinal’s death (1572).
From 1605 Cardinal Alessandro d'Este gave the go-ahead to a new progam of interventions not only to restore and repair the vegetation and the waterworks, but also to create a new series of innovations to the layout of the garden and the decorations of the fountains.

Villa d'Este: Live from the Gardens in Tivoli
The famous Fountains and Gardens of Italy's Villa d'Este made it a World Heritage Site. The legendary Renaissance gardens of the Villa d'Este are arguably the most important in Italy, and inspired many other gardens all over Europe. The great fountains are particularly striking, and Helen sets the scene for you in front of the most magnificent, the Fountain of Neptune.
Hi, we're now in the Villa D'Este (Gardens) in Tivoli. This is about 30 km outside of Rome. This is the largest and most important garden in Italy and it's just full of fountains - there are over 200 fountains. And we just came in from the palace up there and walked down a little Avenue of Hundred Fountains (Le Cento Fontane) and that was beautiful. Down the side there was water flowing down and lots of statues and all that.
And then coming down here, that is one of the biggest fountains over there, the Fountain of Neptune. And, look at it, it's really impressive. Behind that there's another beautiful fountain (Organ Fountain) and at 12:30 the hydraulic organ is going to go off, so that's where we'll be heading to quite quickly.
But, this place was built by Cardinal Ippolito d'Este, or something like that. He was going to be a governor of Tivoli and he needed a place to live that was suitable for his position. So, he built this huge place, look at it, it's magnificent.
This beautiful garden is a nice place to just have a relaxing time and we're just going to be heading in that direction to check out that other fountain, so I'm off now. I'll see you later. Bye.

From Wikipedia
The Galleria Borghese (English: Borghese Gallery) is an art gallery in Rome, Italy, housed in the former Villa Borghese Pinciana. At the outset, the gallery building was integrated with its gardens, but nowadays the Villa Borghese gardens are considered a separate tourist attraction. The Galleria Borghese houses a substantial part of the Borghese collection of paintings, sculpture and antiquities, begun by Cardinal Scipione Borghese, the nephew of Pope Paul V (reign 1605–1621). The Villa was built by the architect Flaminio Ponzio, developing sketches by Scipione Borghese himself, who used it as a villa suburbana, a country villa at the edge of Rome.
Scipione Borghese was an early patron of Bernini and an avid collector of works by Caravaggio, who is well represented in the collection by his Boy with a Basket of Fruit, St Jerome Writing, Sick Bacchus and others. Other paintings of note include Titian's Sacred and Profane Love, Raphael's Entombment of Christ and works by Peter Paul Rubens and Federico Barocci.
The Casino Borghese was erected an area that in the seventeenth-century was outside of the walls of Rome, with the closest access being the Porta del Popolo. At the origins, the villa grounds covered an area with a circumference of nearly 3 miles.[1] The main building was designed by the Flemish architect Giovanni Vasanzio. The portico had spolia derived from the Arch of Claudius, once on the Via Flaminia.[2]
By 1644, John Evelyn described it as an Elysium of delight with Fountains of sundry inventions, Groves and small Rivulets of Water. Evelyn also described the Vivarium that housed ostriches, peacocks, swans and cranes and divers strange Beasts. Prince Marcantonio IV Borghese (1730-1800), who began the recasting of the park's formal garden architecture into an English landscape garden, also set out about 1775, under the guidance of the architect Antonio Asprucci, to replace the now-outdated tapestry and leather hangings and renovate the Casina, restaging the Borghese sculptures and antiquities in a thematic new ordering that celebrated the Borghese position in Rome. The rehabilitation of the much-visited villa as a genuinely public museum in the late eighteenth century was the subject of an exhibition at the Getty Research Institute, Los Angeles, in 2000,[3] spurred by the Getty's acquisition of fifty-four drawings related to the project.
In 1808, Prince Camillo Borghese, Napoleon's brother-in-law,[4] was forced to sell the Borghese Roman sculptures and antiquities to the Emperor. The result is that the Borghese Gladiator, renowned since the 1620s as the most admired single sculpture in Villa Borghese, must now be appreciated in the Musée du Louvre. The Borghese Hermaphroditus is also now in the Louvre.
The Borghese villa was modified and extended down the years, eventually being sold to the Italian government in 1902, along with the entire Borghese estate and surrounding gardens and parkland.
Bernini’s artworks to celebrate 20 years of Galleria Borghese
This exhibition is a unique once-in-a-lifetime journey into the world of one of the most universal artists of all time, Gian Lorenzo Bernini.
The artistic genius is known for having greatly contributed in making Rome the Eternal City. And while Galleria Borghese has always had nine of Bernini’s most famous masterpieces (five of which cannot be moved), this exhibition gives a “full-length” portrait of the great sculptor.

THE PANTHEON of ROME ITALY TOUR - TEMPLE TO ALL THE GODS - 6 22 13
TOUR THE PANTHEON of ROME IN ITALY, IT IS STILL STANDING TODAY, IT WAS A TEMPLE DEDICATED TO ALL THE ROMAN GODS.
It was rebuilt by Hadrian in 125 AD. Originally built by Agrippa in 27 BC. Each door 25 feet high. weights 20 tons.
The (5,000 ton) weight of the concrete dome is concentrated on a ring of voussoirs (30 ft) in diameter which form the oculus. The thickness of the dome varies from (21 ft) at the base of the dome to (4 ft) around the oculus. The height from the floor to the oculus and the diameter of the interior circle are the same, (142 ft.), so the whole interior would fit exactly within a cube (and the interior could house a sphere of (142 ft.) in diameter). The dome was the largest in the world until 1781 when work was finished on the 46-meter dome of the St. Blaise Abbey in St. Blasien.
The Pantheon still holds the record for the largest unreinforced concrete dome in the history of architecture.
The original Pantheon was built by Agrippa, Augustus' most successful general, in 27 BC. It was a rectangular building dedicated to all the Gods of the Greco-Roman Pantheon. The term 'pan' means all and 'theon' means the gods in Greek.
The interior of the roof was probably intended to symbolize the arched vault of the heavens. The Great Eye at the dome's apex is the source of all light and is symbolic of the sun. Its original circular bronze cornice remains in position. The oculus also serves as a cooling and ventilation method. As wind passes over the dome of the Pantheon, it is accelerated and creates a negative pressure zone called the Venturi effect. This pulls air out of the oculus at the top of the dome, drawing more air in from the portico entrance.
Obviously, when it rains, the water falls straight through the oculus. However the floor beneath has tiny holes in it to allow the water to escape.
The interior features sunken panels (coffers), which originally contained bronze star ornaments. This coffering was not only decorative, but also reduced the weight of the roof, as did the elimination of the apex by means of the Great Eye. , the Pantheon was and still is a huge influence on European and American architects from the Renaissance, starting with Brunelleschi's 42 meter dome of Santa Maria del Fiore in Florence, completed in 1436 – the first sizeable dome to be constructed in Europe after Antiquity. The dome of the Pantheon can be detected in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries: numerous city halls, universities and public libraries echo its portico-and-dome
structure. Examples of notable buildings influenced by the Pantheon include
The Temple in Dartrey,
British Museum Reading Room,
Manchester Central Library,
Thomas Jefferson's Rotunda at the University of Virginia,
the Rotunda of Mosta,
Low Library at Columbia University, New York,
The Marble Hall of the Sanssouci palace in Potsdam, Germany,
the State Library of Victoria and the Supreme Court Library of Victoria in Melbourne, Australia
D E C O R A T I O N W H I L E A C H R I S T I A N C H U R C H
The second niche has a statue of St Agnes, by Vincenco Felici. The bust on the left is a portrait of Baldassare Peruzzi, derived from a plaster portrait by Giovanni Duprè. The tomb of King Umberto I and his wife Margherita di Savoia is in the next chapel. The chapel was originally dedicated to St Michael the Archangel, and then to St Thomas the Apostle. The tomb consists of a slab of alabaster mounted in gilded bronze. The royal tombs are maintained by the National Institute of Honour Guards to the Royal Tombs, founded in 1878. They also organize picket guards at the tombs.

Villa D'Este Tivoli UNESCO World Heritage List masterpiece Italian renaissance
support our project:
The Villa d'Este in Tivoli is a masterpiece of the Italian Renaissance and is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.
The villa was commissioned by Cardinal Ippolito d'Este, son of Alfonso I and Lucrezia Borgia (Ferrara 1509 - Rome 1572), on a site formerly home to a Roman villa.
The history of its construction is linked to the events of its first owner. Pope Julius III del Monte wanted to thank Cardinal d'Este for the essential contribution made in 1550 to his election to the papal throne by appointing him governor for life of Tivoli and its territory. The cardinal arrived in Tivoli on 9 September and made a triumphal entry, discovering however that he would have had to live in an old and uncomfortable convent annexed to the church of Santa Maria Maggiore, built centuries earlier by the Benedictines, now kept by the Franciscans and partially readapted to the governor's residence.
Ippolito was used to something else, in his Ferrara and also in Rome, but the air of Tivoli benefited him and moreover - great lover of Roman antiquities - he was very interested in the finds that abounded in the area. He therefore decided to transform the convent into a villa. This would have been the twin of the grandiose palace that he was simultaneously having built in Rome, at Monte Giordano; while the Roman palace was to be used for official receptions in Rome, the Tivoli villa should have been a pleasant place for longer and more meditated meetings and conversations. It is no coincidence that the place where the villa was built was called Valle Gaudente.
The works were entrusted to the architect Pirro Ligorio, flanked by an impressive number of artists and craftsmen. The construction of the factory, however, followed the curial vicissitudes of the cardinal governor, dismissed in 1555 by Pope Paul IV Carafa, then restored to office by Pope Pius IV in 1560, then damaged in the prebends by the bad relations of Pope Pius V with the French, who were always his great allies. It was also necessary to buy the necessary land from two churches belonging to different orders, operations that lasted until 1566, and to convey the waters of the Aniene with new tunnels that came from the waterfalls. Building materials also created problems: the permission, obtained by the Senate of Rome, to use the travertine cladding of the tomb of Cecilia Metella for the construction works of the villa, was subsequently revoked (not before all the covering of the fascia was removed lower part of the monument, left as it is today).
The cardinal barely had time to enjoy the solemn inauguration of the villa, which took place in September 1572 with the visit of Pope Gregory XIII; in fact he died on December 2nd of the same year.
The first owners were three cardinals of Este governors of Tivoli: the client Ippolito II, his nephew Luigi until 1586 and finally Alessandro, until 1624. The latter managed to maintain direct ownership of the house of Este even for when, in the future, the family had no longer been present in the college of cardinals and carried out maintenance and decorative innovations. Also noteworthy is the work of Cardinal Rinaldo d'Este (1641-1672), who commissioned Gian Lorenzo Bernini to create the Bicchierone fountain and the waterfall of the Organ fountain.
Subsequently the villa and its plants, passed to the Habsburgs, were left to decay and the antiquarian collections were dispersed, until Cardinal Gustav Adolf von Hohenlohe-Schillingsfürst, in the mid-nineteenth century, fell in love with it, restored it and for the rest of the century ( until her death in 1896) placed her again at the center of intense artistic-worldly activities; one of the loyal visitors was, at the time, Franz Liszt who was inspired by the villa for some passages from the Années de Pèlerinage (Troisième année: Aux cyprès de la Villa d'Este, Thrénodie I - Aux cyprès de la Villa d'Este, Thrénodie II - Les jeux d'eaux à la Villa d'Este).
The last private owner of the villa was Archduke Francesco Ferdinando of Habsburg-Este, heir to the throne of the Austro-Hungarian Empire; he would have liked to get rid of it, selling it to the Italian state for the enormous sum of two million lire at the time, for which the Italian government sidetracked for a long time; but the assassination of the archduke in Sarajevo on June 28, 1914, freed Italy from that boring affair, as the Italian foreign minister Marquis Antonino di San Giuliano had to say with reference to the sales negotiations Prime Minister Antonio Salandra, in communicating the sad news of the Archduke's assassination.
In 1918, after the First World War, the villa passed to the Italian State which began major restoration works, restoring it entirely in the years 1920-1930 and opening it to the public.
New Friendship Case ???? Rocca Pia Castle UFO, Tivoli, Italy ???? W56 Aliens Mass Contact ????
The true story of hundreds of Italians in face-to-face meetings with extraterrestrials calling themselves the Friends. The cold war raged between the United States and the Soviet Union, threatening to erupt into nuclear exchange and radioactive fallout, spreading a fatal, invisible poison across the surface of the planet. Every nation in the world feared what the superpowers would do.
Italian writer Bruno Sammaciccia was given an old parchment map of the Rocca Pia castle grounds, in central Italy. He called it his treasure map. In April he was searching the grounds with his friends, Giancarlo and Julio. They were approached by two figures. Julio was alarmed, suggesting they were security guards because they both wore the same uniform. But Bruno said, I think not. One was very short like a little person, and one was very tall like a basketball player. The facial features of both were classically handsome, almost angelic, and they emanated an aura of love like the warmth from an electric heater.
They said the Earth had been created for good, but man was close to destroying it. As representatives of other races of the universe, they were part of a group known as W56. But please they said, Just call us the Friends. We are tasked with protecting the planet from nuclear war.
The Friends had been on earth for hundreds of years, living in secret bases all over the world. One lay beneath Rocca Pia, in a very deep chamber which was almost 200 miles in length. Its vaulted ceiling was so high, that the cavern had its own weather system, including underground rain. Their underground base was not dug out of the ground. Instead it had expanded underground like a balloon, compressing the strata at its periphery into impenetrable walls.
They were willing to trust Bruno Sammaciccia and the people he trusted. These people swore silence and allegiance to the Friends. However in the 21st century after Bruno's death some have come forward, and all of them relate the same account. Historically alien encounters had been limited to one or two people at a time. But these Italian witnesses would soon number in the hundreds, making the Friendship Event the first and perhaps only case of mass contact with extraterrestrials.
The Friends were happy to provide proof of their existence to their loyal human followers. Sightings of their flying saucers were arranged by appointment. A photographer would be given an address and a specific date and time. Many of the photos that were taken of these UFO's were published in the Italian press.
Soon after first contact the Friends asked for human assistance. They needed large quantities of fruit... truckloads of grapes and oranges and apples. Sammaciccia would pay for these supplies out of his own pocket. The trucks were unloaded by teleportation in a matter of seconds. To prevent the truck driver from seeing this, Bruno and Giancarlo would ride with the driver. They told him a crew would be waiting to unload the truck. Their destination would be within walking distance of a ristorante. On arrival, Bruno would apologize that his crew was late. He would offer to buy the driver a meal. Giancarlo was left behind to watch the truck. When they returned the truck would be empty, and very clean. The friends could teleport anything, even human beings. Teleportation, according to witnesses, was always accompanied by a blinding flash of light.
The Friends also revealed that they had an enemy, which also occupied secret bases on Earth. Known as the Contraries, they needed to be kept in check. The Contraries were materialistic and worshippers of science. The Friends worried that mankind would follow their enemy.
