ResumoPaolo Giovio relates that in May, 1527, as the Sack of Rome seethed about the Castel Sant'Angelo, Pope Clement VII from the summit of the castle watched smoke rise from his villa on Monte Mario and remarked to his entourage that Cardinal Pompeo Colonna was repaying the debt he owed the pope for the burning and pillaging of the Colonna castles in the previous year.1 As the Sack of Rome marked the termination of the brief Renaissance of the city, so did it interrupt and, in the end, leave pathetically mutilated the most ambitious villa-garden complex planned for post-classical Rome.
