A garden that never fades 🍃 — painted over 2,000 years ago, the Painted Garden of the Villa of Livia wraps its walls in eternal spring. Blossoming trees, fluttering birds, and soft Roman light create an illusion of open air, where nature and empire bloom side by side. Commissioned for the underground dining room of Livia, wife of Augustus, this fresco was a sanctuary of beauty, a place where even stone could breathe. Now lovingly preserved in the Palazzo Massimo, it whispers the timeless longing to bring the outside in.
