A superb villa, the headquarters of the French Academy in Rome.

The Villa Medici is the headquarters of the Académie de France in Rome. Occupying the former gardens of the poet Lucullus, the 1st Renaissance-style building was erected in 1570 on the initiative of an Italian cardinal, before passing into the hands of the Medici family. The Académie de France in Rome was founded in 1666 by Louis XIV to promote France's cultural influence and enable French artists to spend time in Rome. In 1803, under Napoleon, the Academy moved to the Villa. Artists of all disciplines are still welcomed as boarders.

A beautiful villa and a pleasant park but few things to see. The guided tour is interesting. Great views of Rome.

The visit of the Medici villa is rather disappointing by the lack of things to see and parts to visit (many is inhabited). The guide, nice, waters its few anecdotes in Italian and French (mixed tours) which stretches the visit. Small easy way: the price is €8 reduces a 6th if you justify a public ticket (know that the -1 ILO trip subway is €1...)
