Villa Farnesina on Via della Lungara in Rome, in the heart of Trastevere, is one of the most noble and harmonious creations of the Italian Renaissance, commissioned by Agostino Chigi to Baldassarre Peruzzi, and frescoed with paintings inspired by classical myths by Raphael Sanzio, Sebastiano del Piombo, Giovanni da Udine, Giovanni Bazzi known as Il Sodoma, Giulio Romano, and Giovan Francesco Penni. The villa is now the representative seat of the Accademia dei Lincei.
