The magnificent palaces and gardens of the villas d’Este and Adriana in Tivoli and of nearby Villa Aldobrandini are fine examples of the lavishness of ancient Rome and the splendour of Renaissance gardens. Fountains, statues, columns and palaces will provide definition and variety, and the nearby mediaeval town of Palestrina is always a delight to paint.
The glorious Giardino Di Ninfa with its crumbling ruins will be one of the highlights of the trip. It is most famous for its roses, which are typically a blaze of colour and heavily scented in late May.
