Villa Lante, Bagnaia, Viterbo, Italy,

The Villa Lante consists of two square casini (houses), one built by Jacopo Barozzi da Vignola for Cardinal Gianfrancesco Gambara from 1566; the other was completed 30 years later for Cardinal Alessandro Peretti di Montalto.

The formal parterre gardens include complex waterworks introduced by Tommaso Ghinucci, a hydraulics engineer and architect from Siena.

The estate is now known as Villa Lante and was named after Duke Ippolito Lante, who gained possession from 1656 and whose family remained there for generations.
