The Villa Borghese
(more properly the Pincio, or Pincian Gardens)

[image ALT: A dense grove of tall parasol-type pines, thru which can be seen a small two-story building of the Renaissance period. It is a scene in the gardens of the Villa Borghese in Rome.]

	The Lake of Æsculapius
	The Tempietto di Diana, perfectly proportioned and perfectly sited, has just enough room for a round chess table under a ceiling of Wedgwood blue with fascinating mythological motifs.
	The Fountain of the Sea Horses, an 18th‑century work in marble by Christopher Unterberger.
	The Fountain of the Faun Child: a peculiar conceit. . .
