The Villa Celimontana was originally a vineyard that was bought by the Mattei family who redesigned the gardens. Being built on the Celio hill it has always attracted visitors to view the beauty of the villa surrounded by trees. In the gardens are ancient marbles and an obelisk from the time of the Ramses II era. Baron Riccardo Hoffmann, who was the last owner, expanded the gardens and added a Neo-Gothic Temple that is now home to the Italian Geographic Society.
