330 .. $a The Villa Wolkonsky, Rome, is the incongruously named official residence of the British
ambassador to Italy. Nestled within the city's Aurelian Wall, the site's history dates
back to antiquity, its gardens dominated by the remains of a first-century imperial
Roman aqueduct. In the 19th century a remarkable Russian princess, Zenaïde Wolkonsky,
turned it into a country home and salon d'art with such illustrious visitors as Gogol,
Turgenev and Walter Scott. Following generations excavated Roman tombs, collected
antiquities and built a new grand mansion, before selling the Villa to the German
government in 1922. It remained the German embassy, being much enlarged, until the
Liberation of Rome in 1944. After the war the UK bought it, first as embassy offices
and residence and, since 1971, as the residence for the ambassador and other staff.
In this handsomely illustrated volume, Sir John Shepherd, former ambassador, has undertaken
new research to debunk long-held myths and present, for the first time, a comprehensive
history of this hidden Roman treasure
