History

The building is the Aranciera, the Casino dei giuochi d'acqua remodelled for Marcantonio IV Borghese by Antonio Asprucci from 1766. In the atrium and to the left of the building, at Piazzale Victor Hugo, are two seventeenth-century features: a rustic nymphaeum with a sarcophagus, and a tufa rockwork fountain.
