The Villa Wolkonsky in Rome

History of a Hidden Treasure

John Shepherd
The British Ambassador’s residence in Rome takes its name from the Russian princess who entertained guests such as Gogol and Turgenev there in the 19th century. In this illustrated history, former ambassador Sir John Shepherd surveys the Roman antiquities found on the site, the villa’s enlargement over the centuries, its collection of art, and its use as the German Embassy prior to its purchase by the British government in 1944.
