"The vila was a comparison of the urban way of life, a place where carry a different life to which llevaen the city and be in contact with the nature” has explained the professor Pablo González Tornel to the beginning of his conference “The villa: between the humanización of the nature and the return of the man to the natural world” inside the course of summer “Art, nature and gardens” that has initiated today in the Faculty of Human and Social Sciences of the Universitat Jaume I.

Before initiating a route by some of the most stood out villas of the period renacentista, the expert in History of the Art has indicated that the first villas were the ones of the Romans and has quoted the villa toscana of Settefinestre, an exploitation agropecuaria “permeable to a nature still no dominated” and built on an elevation that offered him a privileged vision of the landscape.

Tornel Has gone in in the period renacentista of the hand of the family Medici, a saga that took advantage of the construction of numerous villas to extend his influence in the ducado of the Toscana and has spoken of the Villa Poggio, a construction in shape of hache on a platform that tries to recover the spirit of the ancient roman villas.

To speak on the suburban villas, the professor Tornel has chosen two examples: the Farnesina and the Villa Giulia. Of the first has commented that his plant is the same that the one of any house of field of nowadays and that 70% of his space is conceived for the enjoy of the outside. The house had some privileged sights of the nature and of the river Tíber and with two living rooms (the Logia of Galatea and the Logia of the fábula of Love and Psique), that allow the esparcimiento and the relation with the natural life.

The Villa Giulia has a telescopic structure that turns into a façade to the playground, has indicated González Tornel, the one who has added that “the space habitacional has an invalid importance” in favour of the elements that are in contact with the nature, that also appears in the decoration of the vaults.

 Finally, the professor has showed the Palace Farnese, a vila that “leaves to be a defensive structure to turn into a vila”, with a clear wish to ladscape that it shows in the architectural work realised to convert the fosos and the precipicios;  of the Vila of the Tívoli, with a landscaped area that can not enjoy from the house, but that they are “the richest in sources and hydraulic wits”; and of the Vila of the Prince Doria in Génova, a succession of terraces that goes down to the mar.
