Title A name given to the resource Villa Farnesina Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Anna Guasco (2016) Description An account of the resource The Villa Farnesina is a beautiful Renaissance building near the entrance to Trastevere. Across the river from central Rome and its namesake family's main residence: The Palazzo Farnese, the contemporary museum and gallery provide an excellent opportunity to envision architecture, art, and landscapes in early modern Rome. Although the villa the bears the name of the Farnese family (who bought the estate in 1577), it was commissioned by nouveau-riche Sienese banker Agostini Chigi as a testament to his own wealth, importance, and artistic patronage. He employed a young Baldassere Perruzi to design the building, and brought in an impressive team of master painters, including Raphael, Sodoma, del Piombo, and Bazzi (as well as Perruzi) to create elaborate fresco cycles. In its early days (constructed from approximately 1506 to 1511, with various fresco cycles completed later), the villa hosted many of Chigi's ostentatious, Gatsby-esque banquets. At one of these events, Chigi and his group of close, well-educated friends horrified his guests by instructing his servants to throw his guests' soiled silver and gold plates into the Tiber River -- but the dishes were not wasted, for Chigi had planted a net along the banks in preparation for this trick.
