Just a few minutes' drive from our Farm you can visit the most important villa of the Roman era: Villa Adriana. Built between 118 and 138 CE, with a perimeter of 3 km this splendid villa is the largest residence ever owned by a Roman emperor. It was commissioned by Hadrian, an emperor who detested the crowding, promiscuity, intrigue, and chaos of Rome. Construction of the villa began the year after his accession to the empire and accompanied him for the rest of his existence. A lover of art, Hadrian was passionate about architecture and intervened directly in the design and planning of the buildings. Since 1999 it has been part of UNESCO's World Heritage monuments.
