- Villa D’Este, Tivoli
Most anyone who visits the extravagant fountain-gardens of Tivoli is bound to be swept up in awe. The structure of the city’s several massive villas, panoramic views of Roman hillside, and grandiose marble fountains lure in the weary traveler with seductive promises of rest and tranquility. Man revels at the sight and sound of rushing water, and the Villa d’Este in Tivoli attempts to satiate every watery lust of his soul.
