Villa d' Este (Tivoli)
After we arrived in Tivoli, we unpacked and went to visit Villa d 'Este. Built in 1550 by one of the Cardinals who wanted to be Pope. Made a fancy palace with a huge amount of natural fountains to impress his fellow Cardinals. By showing off his power, he wanted to influence thier vote. He never quite made it to the head of the church, but this place was pretty impressive! The tour of little Tivoli was awesome. This place is not flat like Rome and has many winding streets. We are worn out from climbing countless steps around the garden and fountain area. It was worth it!!
