" cy-Emperor William Of Ger
many for the purpose Of
founding an art academy at Frascatl,
has now become the property Of the
Italian state, as it came under the rul-
ing of the enemy property law. Tho
German government hoped to save IT
for the German students, but 90 pop
ular opinion here was against any CON
ccssion the Italian government could
not make an exception in this case.
This decision caused the resignation
Of the German Ambassador, Herr Won
Behrcburg Gossler as his government
blamed him for the loss Of the villa.
There is a superstition that any for
cigner who purchases villa in the
Castelli Romani, near Rome, will have
either bad luck or somc disaster will
happen to him. The present case Of
the ex-Kaisor seems to bear out this
theory.
Villa Taconieri is probably one of
the most beautiful villas in Frascati,
and was sold thirteen years ago for
mere song, as the monks who then
owned it needed the money for their
properties in the Campagna Romano
1t has many historical associations ano
should have been bought by the sta {
but at that time there were so rnan,
villas equally important that the ltal-
ians themselves did not appreciate
them nor care to buy them. 1t was
only when they had been purchased by
foreigners that protest was made
about foreign possession.

r VILLA FALCONIERI, which WAS
Va bought thirteen years ago by
v cx-Emperor William Of Ger
New-York tribune., 1922-03-12
villa Was Considered
Favoritc Haunt Of Germans

This villa was considered the favorite
haunt Of Germans Herr Richard Voss,
the writer, lived and worked there
until the monks bought the villa. His
best known book is "Vila Falconieri."
Because of its associations with Ger
man literature the ex-Kaiser visited
the villa when he came to Rome and
decided TO buy it. The villa was built
by Cardinal Ruffini and is the oldest
villa at Frascati, dating back to 1900,
when the CARDINAL desiring quiet re-
treat, built here country house just
outside Rome.
Though many owners have in the
past four hundred years possessed this
villa it still retains the name of the
Cardinal who owned it in the early part
Of the eighteenth century. Over the
entrance gate, below the Falcon, is the
inscription:
Alexander I lnuris de Scala
Diaconus card Falconierus
Ammo MUCCXXIX.
|
A huge branch of the old immense
oak, inside the gate, has grown through
the gate itself and nearly covers this
inscription and the Falcon. For many
years after the death Of Cardinal Fal-
conieri it was rented to summer visit
ors, but at the beginning of the pres
ent century it was bought by the Trap
pists for summer house for the order.
Here the monks came and stayed for
July, August and September when their
other converts, in the ma!arial dis
tricts, were uninhabitable. 1t was while
the monks owned the villa that the
Germans, in July, celebrated the twen
ty-fifth anniversary Of the publication
Of Voss's we'll known book "Villa Fal-
conieri," on April ., 1902. There was
special festive celebration and as a
concession Voss was allowed to return
and inhabit the villa. 1t was through
his efforts that the ex-Emperor de-
cided to buy it in order that Germany
should remain possessor Of its won
dcrful park and house.
During the years which have passed
since the Germans owned it few
changes have been made. The frescoes
, by Ghezzi, in small room and under
glass covers. have been left untouched,
as we'll as those on the ceiling repre-
scnting the "Rape Of Proserpinc," by
{ Giro Ferr, and THE Four Seasons"
by the same painter.
At the time Of the purchase the in
habitants, far from regretting the fac:
that a foreigner had bought one Of
their finest villas, were delighted at

owner. The Mayor of the town sen.
kim a telegram of gratitude in the
name of the inhabitants, and received
