It was the villa of an ancient Roman baronial family, the cardinal Albani, great patron, wanted for himself a villa that could accommodate his famous collections of ancient art. The Torlonia princes and the Alban princes united their families in a great and sumptuous marriage, and from that moment on the villa is called Albani-Torlonia. Its marvelous Italian garden with statues and pools, fountains and fish pond, borders on our villa. It was also the residence of Luigi Pirandello’s family (Nobel Prize).
