Purchased
from the heirs of the Torlonia family in 1985,
the Villa of the Quintili is one of the most
archeologically abundant areas and one of the most extensive
villas on the outskirts of Rome.
The initial
excavations of the villa took place in the last
quarter of the 18th century, when Pope Pius VI
sponsored a series of investigations with a view
to enriching the Pio-Clementino Museum.
These
excavations yielded works of art such as the
"Braschi Venus", the Children with the Goose,
busts of philosophers and emperors, columns of
marble from the East and Africa, entire
mosaic floors and precious wall and floor coverings
in colored pieces of marble.
Since
1797 the history of the villa has been associated
with the Torlonia family, who launched systematic
excavations of the area under various
architects from 1828 onwards.
The
area which can presently be visited extends from
the Via Appia Nuova to the Via Appia Antica,
which was the original entrance.
The most
private spaces for family and staff stretched back to
the current Via Appia Nuova, looking over the
open countryside and the Statuario valley and
featuring crypto portici, service areas and small
bath houses built on terraces, creating a remarkable
effect which has finally been partially recovered.
The most
imposing structures belong to the baths sector.
At the
entrance on Via Appia Nuova there is a visitors
centre and a small museum has been set up
in the former stables of the modern farmhouse, displaying
interesting findings from excavations which took place
in the early decades of the 20th century.
