The first floor of this magnificent villa has few paintings---almost all the rooms are filled with perfect sculptures---the best sculptures are most-often displayed in the very center of the rooms. Every sculpture appears that it was purchased to sit in the very place where it rests. The beauty of the house AND the sculptures are perfectly harmonized. Your mouth drops open and you say, WOW, as soon as you walk into the first room, and the WOW factor continues throughout your visit to each room. The sculptures by Bernini are the most perfect pieces, and are incredibly spectacular, but the sculptures by artists I was not familiar with are also extremely phenomenal as well.
