Villa Aldobrandini. Frascati. Italy. Central view of the elaborate Teatro delle Acque (Water Theatre) from the courtyard at the rear of the Villa Aldobrandini. The semicircular amphitheatre is decorated with five niches with statue figures from mythology. Its centrepiece is the figure of Atlas supporting the globe. The Villa Aldobrandini is the largest and most spectacular of the late Renaissance villas built in Frascati. It was designed by Giacomo della Porta and built by Carlo Maderno in 1598-1603 for Cardinal Pietro Aldobrandini who was the nephew of Pope Clemente VII. The villa is still owned by the Aldobrandini family.
