Villa Sacchetti at Castelfusano

Villa Sacchetti in a 17th century painting

The Villa Sacchetti, also called Castello Chigi, is a historical building at Castelfusano, near Ostia Antica, Rome, Italy. It was built in 1624-1629 for the Sacchetti family, close associates of Pope Urban VIII, and was the first architectural work of Pietro da Cortona.[1] The villa is now known as Castello Chigi since its acquisition by the Chigi family in the 18th century.
