О других имениях рода Фарнезе см. вилла Фарнезе и палаццо Фарнезе.Вилла Фарнезина — памятник архитектуры и живописи Высокого Возрождения, расположенный на правом берегу Тибра в римском районе Трастевере. Вилла была построена в 1506—1510 гг. для сиенского банкира Агостино Киджи по проекту Бальдассаре Перуцци. Это была первая в Риме вилла облегчённого, «павильонного» типа, в сельском стиле, открытая в сторону сада и реки, без внутренних двориков и комнат для аудиенций. Фасад, выходящий в парк, имеет оригинальную композицию: выдающиеся вперёд боковые «крылья» и заглубленная центральная часть с лоджией и фонтаном. Б. Перуцци создал росписи-обманки, или тромплёи , первого этажа виллы с изображением вида Рима через воображаемые колонны . А. Киджи покровительствовал молодому Рафаэлю и поэтому пригласил художника для осуществления росписей второго этажа виллы. Рафаэль вместе с учениками Джулио Романо, Себастьяно дель Пьомбо, Франческо Пенни и Содома создал композицию знаменитой фрески «Триумф Галатеи» по сюжету «Метаморфоз» Овидия, а также декоративные мотивы гротеска. На плафоне картинной галереи Рафаэль с учениками написали фреску на сюжет «Свадьба Купидона и Психеи» . В спальной комнате — роспись Содомы «Свадьба Александра и Роксаны» . В 1513—1516 годах Рафаэль создал усыпальницу членов семьи Киджи в церкви Санта-Мария-дель-Пополо. Художник скончался в возрасте 37 лет в 1520 году, а несколько дней спустя умер его покровитель Агостино Киджи. В 1577 г. виллу приобрёл кардинал Алессандро Фарнезе, и постройка получила новое уменьшительное название в отличие от Палаццо Фарнезе, расположенного на другой стороне Тибра. Новые хозяева предполагали соединить палаццо и виллу мостом через реку. Вилла сохранила имя Фарнезина и в XVIII веке, когда ею владели неаполитанские Бурбоны. С 1603 г. на вилле Фарнезина размещалась «Академия рысьеглазых» — Академия литераторов и философов. Академия просуществовала до 1651 года. И в наши дни над воротами в сад виллы можно видеть надпись: Accademia dei Lincei. Позднее, в 1871 г., Академию воссоздали в соседнем здании — Палаццо Корсини. Ныне Вилла Фарнезина действует как музей. В ней также расположен Национальный кабинет эстампов c собранием рисунков и гравюр художников XV—XIX веков, а также Институт графики, основанный в 1975 году. Собрание картин, ранее принадлежавшее семьи Киджи, было рассредоточено наследниками и теперь находится в разных музеях. В частности, из собрания Киджи происходит знаменитая картина П. П. Рубенса «Союз земли и воды» . Приобретена в 1799 г. для собрания Императорского Эрмитажа в Санкт-Петербурге.

The Suardi Chapel is an oratory or private chapel inside the villa in Trescore Balneario, Province of Bergamo owned by the Suardi counts. It is dedicated to Saint Barbara and Saint Brigid and was completely rebuilt by the cousins Giovan Battista and Maffeo Suardi. It is fully covered in 1524 frescoes commissioned by them from by Lorenzo Lotto of Christ the Vine and Lives of the Saints. In the 19th century count Gianforte Suardi built a corridor connecting the chapel to the villa and modified the chapel entrance - those entering had previously immediately found themselves in front of the north wall with its depiction of Christ the Vine. Located on the road across the Val Cavallina which links Bergamo to Lago d'Iseo, the chapel had existed since the 15th century. Around 1523 count Giovan Battista Suardi commissioned Lotto to decorate the oratory and so the artist immediately moved to the area. By this show of piety the count hoped to avert a flood and to counter the seeds of Lutheranism brought to northern Italy by the Landsknechts. The frescoes were complete by summer 1524. The artist and commissioners were friends, as shown by their correspondence discussing the cartoons for the intarsi in the choir of Santa Maria Maggiore, Bergamo. Lotto was assisted by Francesco Bonetti, documented as his pupil from 1517 to 1550.
