Villa Doria Pamphili. Rome. Italy. View of the triumphal arch of the four winds or dei Quattro Venti on the extensive grounds of the Villa Doria Pamphili on the Janiculum Hill. The arch was designed by Andrea Busiri Vici in 1859 and adorned with statues representing the four winds and a coat of arms of Pope Innocent X. It is built on the former grounds of the Villa Corsini which was purchased by Doria Pamphili. The Villa Doria Pamphili was laid out under the direction of Alessandro Algardi in the 17th century for Prince Camillo Pamphili nephew of Pope Innocent X. The villa and its extensive surrounding grounds form Rome’s largest Public Park and is a haven for joggers and picnickers.
