Villa d'Este
Tivoli, Italy

Villa d'Este

Type: Renaissance villa

Cardinal Ippolito d'Este, son of Lucrezia Borgia, converted a Benedictine monastery in the late 16th century into a terraced garden that operates exclusively on water pressure. The Avenue of a Hundred Fountains is 130 meters long, and the Organ Fountain — a Bernini design — uses water pressure to play hidden pipes. Franz Liszt lived here on several occasions between 1865 and 1886 and composed pieces inspired by these fountains.
