Useful Info

The marvellous garden of this villa with its landscape of grottoes, rocks, and fountains was the work of a churchman, Cardinal Ippolito d’Este, who retired here in 1550.

This fantastic combination of planting and stonework, which includes many learned architectural ‘quotes’, gave rise to a genre which was imitated throughout Europe: the Mannerist garden. The capricious park is laid out round the Viale delle Cento Fontane, a wide avenue flanked by mossy fountains and invaded by exuberant vegetation. Fragonard and Hubert Robert painted here, and Liszt dedicated one of his most romantic pieces to the gardens of the Villa d’Este.
