 Via Paisiello Ref.(w) AREA DESCRIPTION Immediately above Piazza del Popolo, the hill known as the Pincio marks the edge of the city's core and the beginning of a collection of parks and gardens that forms Rome's largest central open space - the Villa Borghese, made up of the grounds of the 17th century pleasure palace of Scipione Borghese, which were bought by the city at the turn of the century. It's a vast area, and its woods, lake and grass crisscrossed by roads are about as near as you can get to peace in the city centre without making too much effort. There are any number of attractions for those who want to do more than just stroll or sunbathe: a tiny boating lake, a zoo and some of the city's finest museum. The Pincio isn't formally part of the Villa Borghese, but its terrace and gardens, laid out by Valadier in the early 19th century and fringed with dilapidated busts of classical and Italian heroes, give fine views over the roofs, domes and TV antennae of Central Rome, right across to St. Peter's. Walking south from here, there are more gardens in the grounds of Villa Medici, though as the villa is home to the French Academy these days, they can only be visited on selected days. From the southern edge of Villa Borghese you find Via Veneto, one of the most beautiful Roman streets. The pricey bars and restaurants lining the street where once the haunt of Rome's Beautiful People, made famous by Fellini's La Dolce Vita.
