COMMENTARY
UNDERLINED TERMS ARE DEFINED IN THE GLOSSARY.
Camillo Pamphili rejected Borromini's first design for the Villaa residence in the country (in Italy); villas acquired palace-like characteristics from the Renaissance onwards. Doria Pamphili, located on the Gianicolo in Rome. The sculptor Alessandro Algardi, who received the commission instead of Borromini, preferred an academic example of a "museum façadethe front or principal face of a building, especially one elaborately constructed; a blind façade is a façade that is purely decorative and does not relate to the structure of the building." comparable to the late Mannerist Villa Borghese, in which countless fragments of sculpture from Antiquity were displayed.
It began as a villa for the Pamphili family and when the line died out in the eighteenth century, it passed to Prince Giovanni Andrea IV Doria from which time it has been known as the Villa Doria Pamphili. Today it is the largest landscaped public park in Rome.
