ANCIENT HISTORIC VILLA OCCUPIED BY ORIGINAL
 OWNERS OF ESTATE
(4SsOcidted PreSs)

ROME, Sept 5.--After 337 years the historic Villa Farnesina, located on the banks of the Fiber a half mile distant from St. Peters Church, will again be occupied by descendants of it's orig inal owners and builders, the Princes of Chigi.
 The head of the house, Prince Lud- ovic Chigi, who last year was appoint ed to the important position of Mar shal of the Holy Church and the Guard of the Conclave and, therefore, rules the Vatican during the interim be- tween the death of Pope and the cleo tion of a new one, recently disposed of the Chigi palace, to the Italian gov ernment. It is stated that by this sale he was put in a position to buy back the Villa Farnesina, erected in 15O9-11 by the papal banker Agostino Chigi and notable because of it's frescoes by Raphael.
 The palace will be restored and re- furnished as it was when first occu- pied by the Chigi family an auction sale having been held recently to rid the palace of the furniture left there by the King of Naples. The return of the Chigis is considered remarkable since it is proverbial in Rome that when once a family leaves it's home. it leaves forever.
