Roman Family to Occupy Historic Villa
Farnesins-Desccndants of

After 337 wears the historic Villa
%fHrnrSina. on the banks of the Tiber,
Il llalflnilc distant from st. Peters
church, will again be occupied BY de
Scendants of its original owners and
builders, the Princes of Chigi, says a
Rome correspondent.
The head of the house, Prince Lu-
dovic Nlli@i, who las, year was APP
pointed marshal Of the Holy church
and The guard of the ConclaNe and,
therefore, ruicS the Vatican during the
interim between the death of a pope
and the election of Il new one, recently
disposed of the Chigi palace TO the
Italian government. Ii is stated that
by this sale he was put in q position to
buy back the Villa iarmesina, erected
in ll09-1l by the Papal banker, Agos-
tino Clligi, ard notable because Of its
f~res@oes by Raphael.
The palace will be restored and re-
furnished as il was when first occupied
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 CligiS is conSid-
! cred remarkable since it is %provcrbial
in Rome that when once Il family
