After meeting at the port at 8:30 a.m. (vehicle will
be parked on the pier with your name on its windshield) and drive to Tivoli.
We will be driving on the motorway towards Rome and then skirt the city driving
on the freeway (G.R.A.) that encircles it and finally turn on to the A24 by
which we will reach the town of Tivoli. Once in Tivoli we will visit Villa
D'Este, built in the 16th Century for the Cardinal Ippolito D'Este (son of the
famous Lucrezia Borgia) who had it built for himself when he |
|
 |
became the governor of
Tivoli. The beautiful building is world known for its
astounding garden which is decorated by hundreds of
artistic water fountains. After visiting Villa D'Este
we re-descend the hill and visit the ruins of the famous residence of the
Emperor Hadrian. The villa was the Emperor's "ideal city", a retreat from the
chaos of Rome and the classical buildings in it reproduced the best |
 |
|
|
elements of the
material cultures of Egypt, Greece, and Rome. Before
returning to Civitavecchia, we will stop to look at the
marble quarries at the foot of the hill. Tivoli is in
fact the place where the ancient Romans quarried the Travertine
marble which was used in the construction of the famous buildings
like the Colosseum. Between the visits to the two Villas it will be
possible to make a stop at local restaurant
for a typical lunch. |
