Landscape of Hadrian’s Villa
Framed by olive groves and the Sabine Hills, this view over Tivoli captures the carefully chosen site of Hadrian’s Villa (2nd c. AD). The emperor selected this rural expanse to mirror the diverse beauty of his empire. The surrounding nature served both as a contemplative retreat and a symbolic landscape, blending political power with pastoral idealism.
