FAGIOLO, Marcello - MADONNA, Maria Luisa, Roma delle Delizie. I teatri dell'acqua. Grotte, ninfei, fontane, Milano, F. M. Ricci, 1990.

This volume takes the form of an invitation to the theatre, and, like the play itself, has a Prologue, five Acts and an Epilogue. Elsewhere in Latium, Italy and Europe, it is the villas, palaces, castles and stately homes that delight. In Rome, it is performances. Throughout history the various impresarios (popes, aristocrats, the bourgeoisie) outdid one another in signing up the most dazzling stars of the time: classical divinities, mythological characters, heroes and heroines.
