This showed the rights of the Medic family in Italy and had a permanent presence in Rome. Under the intentions of the Cardinals, Anmanti decorates the exterior of the building with a thin floating Roman -style floating and a statue, and Villa Medic has actually become an outdoor museum. The magnificent garden was reminiscent of a botanical garden built in Pisa and Florence by Cardinal’s father, Kojimo I, and was planted with pine, Itosugi, and oaks.

Like the adjacent Villa Borgese (now Borgese Park), the villa garden was much more free to enter and exit than the official palace, such as Palazzo Farnese in the center of Rome. For a century and a half, Villa Mediti was the most sophisticated place in Rome and functioned as a great Public Embassy for the Vatican. When the Mediti family stopped in 1737, the villa became the Lorene family and became the Kingdom of Etruria at the time of Napoleon. As a result, Villa Medic was owned by Napoleon Bonaparte, transferring it to Rome France Academy.
