The lecture focuses on the monumental fountain incorporated into a garden complex at the Roman villa known today as the Villa San Marco. Drawing on archaeological evidence, textual descriptions by Roman writers, and the use of 3D digital modelling as an interpretive tool, this lecture examines how the art, architecture, garden, and water display in this complex were designed to engage the sensory responses and experiences of villa visitors. The audience will be guided through the Villa San Marco, tracing the possible steps and sensory experiences of an elite Roman visitor to the villa. In doing so, this lecture provides new insights into how the Romans conceived, experienced, and interacted with their multisensory villa environments.
