The Villa Borghese Pinciana, now home to the Galleria Borghese, was built to be a museum, a place of culture, for the display of exemplary images of ancient and modern art, for music, studies in a small library, but also for the contemplation of nature (with rare plants and animals), of fossil samples and finally of the modern technology of the time (for example automata, mirrors, bizarre lenses and particular clocks), the merits of its architecture can be attributed to Flaminio Ponzio, architect of trust of the Pope and the Cardinal.
