STRETCHES ALONG THE LAKESIDE" Lake Maggiore while at Castel Gondolfo is tlie loeautiful Villa Barberini, which reproduces the arrangements and aspect of the ancient villa of Domitian. All these villas among the Alban hills differ radi- cally from those at Rome in two respects. The house is not a mere "casino," but a permanent residence or palazzo, and the abrupt slopes of the hillsides give opportunities which are skilfully availed of, for striking vistas and monumental effects. Owing to the abundant mountain streams, the water works in these gardens are unusually elaborate and effective. Further away from Rome is the hill on which stands Caprarola, with the imposing pentagonal palace and the beau- tiful gardens of the Farnesi, built from \'ignola's designs ; and a few miles further yet, the Villa Lante at Bagnaia, near A'iterbo, one of the most perfect and typical of Italian villas.
