The Pompeian Room and the Nineteenth Century in the Villa Farnesina

The Pompeian Room and the Nineteenth Century in the Villa Farnesina recounts the restoration of a precious yet little-known space: the Pompeian Room.

This refined nineteenth-century room—so named for its decorations inspired by ancient models—has seen its function change over the centuries.

The volume retraces its history, bringing back to the public a small artistic gem and highlighting the crucial role played in the nineteenth century by Salvador Bermúdez de Castro, Duke of Ripalta, in the renovation of the Villa Farnesina.
