EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by Frances Benjamin Johnston in 1925, showcases the breathtaking beauty of Villa d'Este in Tivoli, Lazio, Italy. The Renaissance-era villa, designed by Pirro Ligorio between 1560 and 1575, is a masterpiece of architectural and landscape design. Commissioned by Cardinal Ippolito II d'Este, the villa is a testament to the grandeur and opulence of the Italian Renaissance. The photograph, hand-coloured and tinted, captures the villa's symmetrical facade, adorned with intricate stonework and ornate balconies. The villa's terraced gardens, designed by both Pirro Ligorio and Cardinal Ippolito II d'Este, cascade down the hillside, filled with lush greenery and vibrant flowers. The steps, shaded by trees and plants, lead to various fountains and grottoes, creating a serene and idyllic setting. The photograph, taken in the 1920s, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting viewers to a time when grandeur and elegance were the norm. The villa, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, continues to be a popular tourist destination and a symbol of Italy's rich cultural heritage. The photograph, part of the Frances Benjamin Johnston collection at the Library of Congress, is a reminder of the importance of preserving historical sites and the beauty they bring to the world.
