Caratteristico borgo alle porte di Viterbo famoso per
la villa Lante. Il centro storico, segnalato da una
torre cilindrica a presidio dell'antico castello
medievale, successiva- mente trasformato in palazzo
baronale con elegante loggia, è accessibile attraverso
un'unica porta-galleria. Al suo interno si intreccia
un meandro di vicoli e piazzette, rallegrate da una
fontana pignolesca, che si affacciano sulla valle
Pierina creando insospettate atmosfere. La rivoluzione
urbanistica dei secoli XV-XVI, favorita da vescovi e
cardinali che avevano preso a frequentare la località
come residenza estiva, si è conclusa con l'espansione
dell'abitato e la realizzazione della villa Lante
in uno spazio destinato a riserva di caccia (barco).
La costruzione della villa risale alla metà del
Cinquecento (forse su disegno del Vignola) per
iniziativa del cardinale Giovan Fran- cesco de Gambara,
già vescovo di Viterbo. Lavori di completamento e
ampliamento si devono al cardinale Peretti-Montalto
nei decenni successivi.
La sua architettura costituisce uno
dei più mirabili esempi di giardino rinascimentale
all'italiana; il ripido pendio, ridotto in cinque
terrazze con eleganti fontane unite da geometriche
scalee e da altri motivi decorativi, termina in un
parterre dal quale si ammira il prospetto delle
palazzine che formano le quinte di un simbolico
palcoscenico. Per una visione panoramica dell'insieme
si consiglia di salire all'ultimo ripiano sul cui
sfondo la fontana del Diluvio (ricavata in una
roccia avvolta da fitta vegetazione e circondata da
due logge dette delle Muse) raccoglie le acque da una
sorgente dei colli Cimini, dando origine al tema
compositivo svolto nel giardino. L’acqua, seguendo il
pendio, forma alcune cascate e alimenta fontane e
vasche terminando nel cosiddetto Quadrato. Dalla
fontana dei Delfini ha inizio una singolare catena
a forma di gambero fino alla sottostante fontana
dei Giganti (simboleggiano il Tevere e l'Arno) che
precede un'originale vasca, detta tavola del
Cardinale. Dalla balaustra della fontana dei
Lumini si gode una splendida vista del giardino
all'italiana con al centro la fontana del Quadrato,
dominata dal gruppo dei Quattro Mori. Le due
palazzine presentano all'interno un interessante ciclo
di affreschi. In quella di destra ( edificata al tempo
del cardinale Gambara nel 1566) i dipinti manieristici
della Scuola degli Zuccari e di Antonio Tempesti si
distendono su pareti e soffitti con storie mitologiche
e religiose, scene di caccia e paesaggi, tra cariatidi
e grottesche.
Le decorazioni della loggia (in cui
si rileva, come in altri ambienti, la spiccata per-
sonalità di Raffaellino da Reggio) raffigurano nella
volta, a quattro campate, scene mitologiche, paesaggi
con rovine ed altri soggetti; sulle pareti, divise in
ampi riquadri da cariatidi monocrome e sovrastate da
stemmi cardinalizi, sono raffigurate da sinistra la
villa d' Este di Tivoli, la villa Farnese di Caprarola,
quella di Capodimonte e la villa Lante di Bagnaia nel
suo aspetto originario. Al primo piano è conservato,
tra l'altro, un pregevole cartone seicentesco, con
giochi di putti, di Giovan Francesco Romanelli,
ordinato per l'arazzeria di palazzo Barberini di Roma.
La palazzina Montalto, a sinistra,
venne completata intorno al 1590 e decorata agli inizi
del Seicento da Agostino Tassi, dal Cavalier d'Arpino
e da Orazio Gentileschi. Nella loggia, al piano del
giardino, sono raffigurate scene marinaresche e figure
allegoriche. Al primo piano notevole il salone
maggiore con pregevole soffitto finemente decorato.
Fra le numerose fontane sparse nel parco, si ricorda
quella monumentale del Pegaso, di fronte
all'ingresso da cui si può anche raggiungere il
quattrocentesco casino di caccia.

VILLA
LANTE To BAGNAIA (VITERBO):
Lante villa is one of the greater realizations of the
1500's Italian. To remember in particular way Fountains of
the Moors of the Giambologna, the two mansions (Gambara
and Montalto) and a spectacular system of the Fountains
and water games beyond to a beautiful park. All the Villa
(between garden to the Italian and park) occupies the
surface of 22 hectares. The extraordinary particularitity
of Lante Villa is inborn in the great of the garden
regarding the architectonic work in fact the residence
double in two small buildings twin (even if constructed in
various times) symmetrical regarding the axis centers them
of the garden that dominates the entire composition
through the water distance.
WATER
GEOMETRIES OF VILLA LANTE To BAGNAIA:
The water is born from a triumph of geometries designed
from evergreen plants and lava stone statues and follows a
distance that creates river basins and particular games of
water. To signal also a lava stone table with a fresh
stream that crosses it in means in order to hold fresh
yields and during the meal of the ancient owners. The
Garden of Villa Lante is therefore a created and
intentional place bewitched from a powerful cardinal in
name of the supremacy of the man on the nature. Sluice in
a rigorous geometric labyrinth work of architect Jacopo
Barozzi from Vignola, Villa Lante was constructed in the
second half of the 1500's for wanting of Gambara cardinal,
to attacked of a forest already game preserve. The Villa
is crossed longitudinally from a stream that gushes out up
from the cliff and follows the slope of the land, taking
advantage of some the unevenness and joining together them
with terraces and the Fontanels until placers in the
square of Fountains of the Moors.
VILLA
LANTE - FOUNTAINS OF THE MOORS:
E' a water mirror that elegant balustrades subdivide in
four river basins on which a boat with a putty floats
water spray and to the centre a triple circle of
culminating bathtubs in the group of the four Moors who
resist the coat of arms of Pope Sisto V.
VILLA
LANTE - The GARDEN: Since
the income embraces the sight of the entire garden. The
two symmetrical mansions, to square plant seem not to want
to interrupt the water flow, natural element and true
protagonist of the Villa, that it comes down with sudden
start even if channelled between it makes us of a
crustacean in lava stone symbol of Gambara cardinal or
collected in Fountains of the Giants picture of the Arno
and the Tevere. Villa Lante is found to Bagnaia to single
4 Km. from Viterbo and it is one of the examples more
meant you than garden to the Italian, with two mansions
and the its wonderful artistic Fountains.
VILLA
LANTE - FOUNTAINS Of the CHAIN:
a large water amount flows down and comes down tumultuous
through Fountains of the Chain, hopping in the envelope
wrapped and attached of the crustacean (brand of Gambara
Cardinal) like constituting a crystalline water chain and
they exit in Fountains of the Giants, representative the
rivers Tevere and Arno (that is the good relationships
between the papacy of Medical Rome and the family of
Florence) is the age of the reason (or Giove), in which
the man she is called to fight with its forces in order to
dominate the nature in order then to calm in Fountains of
the Table (or Table of the Cardinal) like constituting, of
shapes and transparencies, one table with crystalline
table cloth. The water resumes its race then and goes to
water spray in Fontana of the Lumini, like forming many
flames of silver-plated candles.
THE
CONSTRUCTIONS TO THE INSIDE OF VILLA LANTE:
In the plan the construction of the two villas was
previewed, but only one was made to construct, in 1566,
from card. the Gambara. To the inner conserve wonderful
ceilings to boxes, putty and fresh valuable, some
representing Villa D' Este, the Palace Farnese of
Caprarola, the Palace of Capodimonte and Villa Lante as it
was to the origin. The other villa, call Montalto Mansion,
for the name of the cardinal who made it to construct,
came finished in 1590 with frescoes of several authors and
an important decorated ceiling to boxes.
Young cardinal Francisco Gambara, descendant from one
noble family born in brescia, thanks to the protection of
the Farnese (the mother was the vedova of
|
|
Ranuccio Farnese), obtained the title it of
Bishop of Bagnaia in 1566 but taken single possession in
1568 and immediately planned the realization of its Lante
Villa to Bagnaia demanding to the Farnese the service of
their Vignola architect. In the 1573 cardinal it already
could reside to you but the jobs continued until 1578 (as it
on purpose remembers the date on a fregio of the casino said
Gambara Mansion), given of the visit of Gregorio XIII. The
architecture of the cottages constructed symmetrically on
the clivio to the end of a terraces to the inside of Villa
Lante in Bagnaia turns out more elegant and simple much
regarding coeve the villa of Este and palace Farnese in
Caprarola and it is inspired of the bramantesco model of the
Lookout from which Vignola it drew evidently directed
inspiration resuming from the previous experience of
Caprarola some elements of the Casino of the Barco but
leaving much more space the garden that to Bagnaia carries
out the protagonist role. The inner decoration came finished
in time for the visit of Gregorio XIII in 1578, the program
and the direction of the jobs is attributed to Raffaellino
from Reggio, already present in the palace Farnese of
Caprarola.
This dependency of cardinal the Gambara from the very more
powerful Farnese family is emphasized from all the
realization of its residence of Bagnaia and returns
expressed on the walls of the loggia of the Association of
Bologna where is represents landscapes to you of Caprarola
with the Farnese palace and the villa of the Barco with to
one seen of villa of Este and Lante Villa to Bagnaia.
Thematically tied to this celebration of the families
Farnese, Este and Gambara are also the paintings of the time
that represent the birth of four constellations second the
astronomical conviction of Igino and in relation to the
three over name families: over the view of Villa of Este
Ercole and the dragone in the garden of the Esperidi it
represents the birth of the constellation of the snake; over
Farnese palace to Caprarola Orione and the scorpion
constellation is both legacies to one; over the Barco Giove
it defeats the giants accompanied from the Aquila (an
enterprise of the Farnese was constituted from the lightning
with which Giove murdered the Giants); finally over Villa
Lante Ercole the Idra and with it a granchio reached in aid
of the monster (in reference kills the constellation of the
cancer but also to the gambero, symbol of the cardinal).
In with therefore the inner decoration of the loggia of
Bagnaia it entire seems to be imprinted to the previous
models of the drawing-room of Villa of Este and of it knows
it of Ercole to Caprarola, but the outside differs for a
greater order spaces them that ago hinge on an axis centre
emphasized them from one to ollow it self from which comes
down the water, from a of marble table and finally from
Fountains with great bathtub mails to the centre of the
first devised terraced and according to ancient models as
small lake rising with island centre them. |
