The "Oak of Pierluigi da Palestrina" is a monumental downy oak located in the Cannuccete Valley, in the Prenestini Mountains, not far from Palestrina. This centuries-old tree, over 20 meters tall and with a circumference of over six meters, is considered one of the oldest and most impressive trees in Lazio. It is estimated to be between 500 and 700 years old. According to local tradition, the famous musician Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina loved to go to the foot of this oak tree to find inspiration and moments of reflection. Legend has it that the composer meditated and perhaps composed some of his works in the shade of this tree, although these details are not confirmed by historical sources.

Declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2001, it represents a masterpiece of the Italian garden with an impressive concentration of fountains, nymphaeums, caves, water features and hydraulic music. Cardinal Ippolito II d’Este, after the disappointments due to the lack of papal election, revived the splendor of the courts of Ferrara, Rome and Fointanebleau here and revived the magnificence of Villa Adriana. Governor of Tivoli since 1550, he immediately toyed with the idea of creating a garden on the slope of the joyful valley, but only after 1560 the architectural and iconological program of the Villa was clarified, conceived by the painter-archaeologist-architect Pirro Ligorio and built by the architect of court Alberto Galvani. The palace was decorated by the protagonists of late Roman Mannerism. The Villa was almost completed when Ippolito d’Este died in 1572. Further interventions in the seventeenth century followed a period of decline, until Cardinal Gustav Adolf von Hohenlohe revived its splendor by also hosting the musician Ferenc Liszt (1811-1886). Acquired by the Italian state, between the 1920s and 1930s the Villa was restored and opened to the public.

Not far from the Peschiere, on the opposite side from the great fountain of Neptune, is the Rometta. A term of endearment that reveals Ippolito d’Este's great love for Rome, the Rome in which he was prevented from building his own castle. And so it was that not being able to have a castle inside the city, he decided to bring the city into his villa. The Rometta, therefore, is a great allegory that is directly related to two other fountains in the garden, the avenue of the hundred fountains and the Ovato fountain, in a complex game that allows us to reconstruct a real ideal geography.

Among all the wonders that the garden of the Villa has offered to our eyes we have forgotten that even hearing, in this case, has its part: the fountain of the Organ, thanks to a series of complex mechanisms with hydraulic action made by the French Claudio Venard, raises his delicate song that blends with the natural music of the waterfalls.

The ovate, this large oval-shaped basin, is ideally the kingdom of nature, the point where the extraordinary richness of the Lazio countryside is celebrated. The fountain, in fact, represents the Tiburtini Mountains from which the Aniene originates, the main tributary of the Tiber as well as the main source of water for the entire garden.

Villa d'Este is a masterpiece of 16th century garden and water art. A terraced garden filled with the noise of the many fountains and fountains. Enchanting. If there is a need for a suitable soundtrack: Franz Liszt set to music his visit to the Villa d'Este, i.a. in the play "Les Jeux d'eau à la Villa d'Este", which aptly translates the varied water features into music. Here's a shot with Claudio Arrau: https://youtu.be/4HjkoW7tdcU
