The Casino di Villa Boncompagni Ludovisi is a villa in Porta Pinciana, Rome, Italy. Measuring 2.200 square meters, it is all that remains of a country retreat, best known as Villa Ludovisi, established in the 16th century by Cardinal Francesco Maria Del Monte. The Cardinal was a diplomat, intellectual, art connoisseur, collector, and protector and patron of such very different figures as Galileo and Caravaggio. The Casino is often referred to as the Villa Aurora, after the important fresco by Guercino, located in the Villa's main reception room, depicting the goddess Aurora. One of the smaller rooms of the casino boasts the only painting ever executed by Caravaggio on a ceiling, Jupiter, Neptune and Pluto, which reflects, in symbolic imagery derived from Classical mythology, another of the cardinal's interests, alchemy.
Del Monte sold the Villa Ludovisi and its extensive grounds to Cardinal Ludovico Ludovisi in 1621. Due to the Ludovisi's family financial duress, the whole park was sold off in the 1880s and built up with hotels and expensive houses, including palazzi for members of the family. The facade of the main casino or Casino Grande is now hidden behind the 19th-century Palazzo Margherita. This building was acquired by the Italian State and became the residence of Queen Mother Margherita. It now houses the U.S. embassy.
The only part not sold was the Villa Aurora, which remains in the possession of the Ludovisi family, encircled by high walls and open to the public on written request. Apart from the works by Caravaggio and Guercino, it contains important works of art by Pomarancio, Michelangelo, and a collection of Roman and Greek artefacts.

サン・カルロ・アッレ・クワトロ・フォンターネ聖堂(イタリア語: Chiesa di San Carlo alle Quattro Fontane)は、ローマにあるカトリック教会の聖堂で、建築家フランチェスコ・ボッロミーニの独立後最初の作品である。聖カルロに捧げられたローマにある3つの教会の1つであり、他にはサン・カルロ・アイ・カティナーリ教会とサン・カルロ・アル・コルソ教会がある。
この教会と修道院は、9月20日通り~クイリナーレ通り×クワトロ・フォンターネ通り に交わる「クワトロ・フォンターネ」という交差点の南西の角にある。通りが斜めに交差するこの交差点の4つの角にはそれぞれ噴水があるため、このように呼ばれている。交差している通りの1つであるピア通り(現在の9月20日通り)に沿って後にベルニーニがサンタンドレア・アル・クイリナーレ教会を建てた。
敷地が限られていたため、平面図や断面図を見るとかなり難しい設計を強いられたことがわかる。教会のとなりには回廊があり、どちらもピア通りに面している。修道院の建物群はその周囲にあり、ボッロミーニはその背後に庭園を設計することを想定していた。
Sant'Eusebio is a titular church in Rome, devoted to Saint Eusebius of Rome, a 4th-century martyr, and built in the Esquilino rione.
The church is first mentioned in 474, by an inscription in the catacombs of Saints Marcellino e Pietro ad duas Lauros, and recorded as the Titulus Eusebii in the acts of the 499 synod. It was consecrated "in honorem beatorum Eusebii et Vincentii" by Pope Gregory IX, after the restoration of 1238. The Romanesque style, dating back to this restoration, survived to the restorations of the 17th, 18th, and 20th centuries.
The Titulus Sancti Eusebii is held by Cardinal Daniel DiNardo, Archbishop of Galveston-Houston in Texas, US.
