Modern Age
Palazzo Farnese
Caprarola (VT)
Erected for the "great cardinal" Alessandro Farnese on the foundations of a pre-existing fortress, the building (1559-1575), celebrated throughout the ages, is considered the masterpiece of Jacopo Barozzi da Vignola. A tangible sign of power, it is at the same time fortress, palace and villa. With its characteristic pentagonal plan and central round courtyard, it houses a splendid helicoidal staircase and a cycle of frescoes that are among the most representative of Mannerism.
At the back, it counts two secret gardens and, further upstream, an additional place of delight nestled in the woods, with a series of fountains accompanying a mansion, formerly the summer residence of President of the Republic Luigi Einaudi.
