Villa Paganini
Villa Paganini (also Villa Alberoni Paganini ) is a park in Rome near Via Nomentana opposite Villa Torlonia .
The name goes back to one of the former owners, Senator Roberto Paganini . Although he was one of the (temporary) owners of the park, the special design of the park is linked to Cardinal Giulio Alberoni .
The origins of the park date back to the late 15th century. Cardinal Mariano Pierbenedetti da Camerino , governor of Rome, decided to have a fountain built in what was then the vineyard. The following owners were Benedetto Odescalchi (later Pope Innocent XI ) and Cardinal Giulio Alberoni. After Alberoni's death in 1752, the park was sold to Luigi Mirri and shortly afterwards passed to the Argentine brothers and finally in 1832 to the Jesuits .
After numerous other changes of ownership, Senator Roberto Paganini acquired the park in 1890. Due to the then rapidly growing Rome, the area was split into several plots. In 1913, Paganini's heirs gave the park to Count Enrico Lutzow. In 1934 the park became the property of the City of Rome. There is a Montessori kindergarten on the site . The park was reopened in 2004 after renovation. The paths in the park are named after victims of the Mafia .
