Quintili’s Villa was the largest villa in the Roman countryside. It belonged to the brothers Quintiliano Condiani and Quintiliano Valeriano Massimo, two Roman consuls who were also entrusted with important political tasks in Greece and Asia during the reign of emperors Antonio Pio and Marco Aurelio. Emperor Commodo confiscated their belongings becoming the owner of the villa in 182 a.C., transforming it in a wonderful country palace, deciding to reside there for the beauty of the landscape.In 1985 the State bought from the villa’s heirs (Torlonia family) a big part of area where the villa is located. During the excavations of the years 1998-99, many important ruins were found. They testify the luxury and variety of the decorations used for the villa’s ornament.
