Villa Borghese is an English-style landscaped park that occupies Pincio Hill. It was broken in the 17th century. by order of Scipio Borghese. There are many park buildings, fountains and monuments on a large territory among chestnut trees, sessile oaks and pine trees.
The layout of the park itself and its landscape design have changed many times over the centuries. Surprisingly, there was also a “Russian trace” here, one of the mistresses of the estate at that time was Elena Borghese, the granddaughter of the Russian dignitary Count Benckendorff A.Kh., thanks to whom the park acquired the English style that became widespread at that time.
