The Grotto of Diana at Villa D'Este near Rome has been reopened to the public after nearly a half a century of closure and two years of restoration work thanks to the efforts of the Autonomous Institute of Villa Adriana and Villa d'Este of Tivoli with Fendi's patronage.

“The restoration of the Grotto of Diana at Villa d’Este is, for Fendi, an act of love. Deeply rooted in Rome, where our Maison’s foundations and creative heart have been since 1925, this project represents another investment in the future that begins with memory of the past: a commitment to preserving the beauty and history of our country, passing this precious monument on to future generations.”
