Villa Farnesina is renowned for its spectacular architecture as well as its elaborate interior design. This place is also home to some of the iconic creations of great artists like Raphael, Baldassare Peruzzi, and Sebastian del Piombo.

The Villa Farnesina happens to be a Renaissance suburban villa in the district of Trastevere in Rome, central Italy. The villa was constructed by Agostino Chigi, a wealthy Sienese banker and the treasurer of Pope Julius II. The Villa Farnesina is a significant example of the opulence and luxury that characterized Renaissance Italian society. Some of the best Italian artists, including Giovanni da Udine, Raphael Sanzio, Sebastiano del Piombo, Giovanni Bazzi, and Giovan Francesco Penni, were responsible for the interior design and decoration of the villa. The mansion, which took five years to build, served as the setting for Rome's elite's largest parties. The property looks out over a garden with a fountain in the center surrounded by vibrant flowers. Each room in the house is embellished with frescoes, mosaics, and ceiling paintings.
