[URL unfurl="true"]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palazzo_Spada[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Villa_d%27Este[/URL] These are literally the party palaces that the rich ducal families built so that their Cardinal family members could host lavish (lascivious) parties for the college of Cardinals, to win favor and get elected Pope. There's a reason Medici and Borghese were made Pope. These places were where Hefner got the idea for a grotto. [/QUOTE]
