A superb villa, the headquarters of the French Academy in Rome.
Villa Medici is the headquarters of the Académie de France in Rome. Occupying the former gardens of the poet Lucullus, the first Renaissance-style building was built in 1570 on the initiative of an Italian cardinal, before passing into the hands of the Medici. The Académie de France in Rome was founded in 1666 by Louis XIV to ensure the cultural influence of France and to allow French artists to stay in Rome. It was in 1803, under Napoleon, that the Academy moved to the Villa. Artists from all disciplines are always welcomed as boarders.

The site offering a pleasant view of Rome and the façade side gardens are worth visiting. For the rest, it is better to visit Thursday or other rooms, usually closed, are open. It is better to pay half price to avoid a light feeling of disappointment.

la villa Medici est un site assez pure et rapide à voir , situé dans une beau parc, elle est assez difficile à trouver . à l'intérieur c'est une explosion d'oeuvres peints sur les murs . Ce site est sympa à voir malgré la rapidité de la visite .
Pour moi, cents la première fois que je regrette mon argent. C’est du foutage de gueule.
