Follow the itinerary that ends in the splendid Hall of Columns with the great fountain of Bacchus and naturalistic decorations that seem to reflect the adjacent gardens. This gem, which was hidden for over 50 years by the Circolo Ufficiali (military club), which used it as kitchens and for food storage, has been opened to the public after a fine restoration by Laura Cherubini.
