Semi-circular portico
This space introduced the rooms of the master's southern apartment and its semi-circular form functioned to connect the various rooms that it opened onto. As is often the case in the villa, practicality is not detached from architectural precision: the little courtyard was enriched with a fountain and a nymphaeum that provided cool air and a constant supply of water.
