8 Villa Farnesina, located in Rome (Trastevere), is considered one of the noblest and most harmonious creations of Italian Renaissance. At the beginning of the sixteenth century, it was commissioned by the Sienese banker Agostino Chigi to the architect Baldassarre Peruzzi. The interior is decorated with frescoes by Raphael Sanzio, Sebastiano del Piombo, Giovanni da Udine, Giovanni Bazzi known as il Sodoma, Giulio Romano, Giovan Francesco Penni, and Baldassarre Peruzzi himself. At the end of the sixteenth century the Villa was purchased by Cardinal Alessandro Farnese from whom it takes its name Farnesina to distinguish it from Palazzo Farnese on the other side of the Tiber. The Villa is also used for official representative purposes by the Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Via della Lungara 230 The Botanical Garden of Rome is one of the Museums of the Department of Environmental Biology of the Sapienza University of Rome. It covers an area of about 30 acres in the very heart of the city, between Via della Lungara and Colle del Gianicolo, occupying part of the archaeological area called Horti Getae, which in ancient times contained the thermal baths of Septimius Severus. Since 1883, the Botanical Garden of Rome has been situated next to Palazzo Riario-Corsini, with whom it shares a historic garden layout. The area contains numerous specimens of palm trees in the main path. The same area contains samples of Cedrus deodara (Roxb. ex D. Don) G. Don, which is native to the Himalayas, of the Dasylirion group (including Dasylirion glaucophyllum Hook., Dasylirion acrotrichum (Schied) Zucc., both native to Mexico), of Erythrina crista-galli L., which is native to Brazil, and a specimen of Liquidambar orientalis Mill. from China.

9 Rome Public Transport How to get around the city The public transport system is based on three Metro lines (A, B, B1, C) and a network of services on the surface (buses, trams). Buses run from 5.30 am to am (afterwards only night services are working); the Metro is open from 5.30 am to pm (on Friday and Saturday evenings until 1.30 am). A single ticket costs 1,50 and you can use it for the metro (one trip) as well as for buses (during 100 minutes). Tickets may be purchased at every railway and Metro station, although also from licensed sales points (newspaper kiosks, bars, tobacconist, Tourist Information Points). Taxi Taxis in Rome are white and have a TAXI sign on their roofs. You can take one at Taxi Stands or you can call for it; each radio taxi company has a number to request a taxi. We suggest: CHIAMATAXI: (+39) RADIOTAXI (+39) TAXI LA CAPITALE (+39) TAXI SAMARCANDA (+39) Taxis have a meter that starts at a preset amount which differs by time of day.
