Notes: "[T]he Villa Tusolano outside Bologna, ... purchased and renovated by Cardinal Gio. Batt. Campeggi (1507-83) to entertain leading humanists and serve as the seat of his retirement. Rossi's account discusses the origin and significance of the name and describes the gardens, sweeping views, canal, watercraft, the building's exterior and interior, its decoration, paintings, sculpture, capacious cellars and the freestanding private chapel.... Campeggi's own description follows (first published in 1567). It focusses on the "spa" aspects of the property...."--Bruce McKittrick Rare Books, Inc, bookseller, datasheet.

"The Bolognese nobleman and Bishop of Majorca Giovanni Battista Campeggi (1507-1583) demonstrated with his villa II Tuscolano in the environs of Bologna that a Tusculan villa did not actually have to be in Tusculum; it could instead grace a distant countryside or the pages of a literary text."--Aksamija, Najda.

" ... under the direction of his [Giovanni Battista Campeggi] nephew Giovanni Galeazzo (Giangaleazzo) Rossi, the villa under went significant architectural and artistic improvements; concurrently, the construction of its myth through literary tributes was also under way."-- Aksamija, Najda.
