I agree.VILLA D’ESTE <br> Built by Pirro Ligorio in 1549 for Cardinal Ippolito d’Este, the son of Lucrezia Borgia and Ercole d’Este, Villa d’Este is one of the most extraordinary and spectacular examples of sixteenth century architecture. The gardens of Villa d’Este stand out as the finest specimen of Italian pleasure gardens of the Baroque period. The architect arranged to have an enormous quantity of rushing water play a large part in these gardens, especially the fascinating water organ, with its many fine sculptures. In the eighteenth century the villa suffered a sudden collapse; the gardens ran wild and the marvelous statues were sold. In this century, restoration of the villa and its gardens ran wild and the marvelous statues were sold. In this century, restoration of the villa and its gardens has begun, and an observing eye can detect the original splendor of this magnificent work of art. <br> <br> <br> Champagnes White Dinner Wines Red Dinner Wines Rose Dinner <br> Complete Dinners Fiesta Dinner Salads Pasta Soups Appetizers <br> Entrees Roast & Broiler Vegetables Desserts Beverages Seafood <br>
