Villa Cetinale is a 17th century villa in Tuscany, Italy, located about in the hamlet of Cetinale near Sovicille and about 12 km west of Siena. The villa, originally called Villa Chigi, was built by Cardinal Flavio Chigi, Prince of Farnese, Duke of Ariccia and Prince of the Holy Roman Empire, nephew of Pope Alexander VII. He employed Carlo Fontana to plan the villa and gardens in 1680. After his death it passed into his family, the Chigi-Zondadari, where it remained until it was acquired, in a somewhat ruinous state, by Antony Lambton in 1977, following a scandal in England. Lambton retired there, meticulously restored the villa and gardens, and eventually died in Siena Hospital on 30 December 2006. The house is remarkable mainly for the scale and beauty of its gardens.
