A recreation — not a copy — of the garden fresco style of the Villa of Livia, painted by Benedetti using ancient pigments and Roman fresco techniques. Birds, fruit trees, and winding paths surround the viewer on four sides. This panel is the south wall of a room Benedetti has been painting for six years.
