Rometta is one of the more original fountain of the Villa; and if it is considered that it was created by a man of the ' 500, it is obvious to remain bewitched in front of its extraordinary details. Created by the usual Pirro Logorio, unfortunately today the Fountain is not complete as it was originally because it was demolished in the XIX, as it is possible to see by looking the designs made by Venturini in 1685. Lots of the Roman buildings in miniature have been demolished. They were the scenography of important statues that still exist here; like the she wolf with the twins, Rome armed with armour, helmet and lance.
