About Museo Nazionale Etrusco di Villa Giulia
Villa Giulia was built in the 1550s as a suburban pleasure villa for Pope Julius III, designed with the involvement of architects including Vignola, Vasari, and Ammannati. It served as a retreat for papal leisure, entertainment, and display of antiquities outside the walls of Rome. The villa exemplified the refined taste of mid-sixteenth-century papal patronage.
