He commissioned the Baroque architect Francesco Borromini to modify it for him, and it was Borromini who created the masterpiece of forced perspective optical illusion in the arcaded courtyard, in which diminishing rows of columns and a rising floor create the visual illusion of a gallery 37 meters long (it is 8 meters) with a lifesize sculpture at the end of the vista, in daylight beyond: the sculpture is 60 cm high.

Marmore Falls

is a waterfall flow-controlled, among the highest Europe, relying on a gradient of 165 m, divided into three jumps.The name comes from the salts of calcium present in the rocks that look like marble.The waters of the waterfall are intensively exploited for the production of electricity, in central Galleto.This means that the waterfall itself is not always working, but for most of the time is reduced to the size of a stream.The basin of Lake Piediluco acts as a reservoir for the power plant, built in 1929, capable of producing electricity with a capacity of about 530 MW.To adjust the operation of the plant and to allow the vision to all, times and dates stated, the waterfall is operated at full capacity: an acoustic signal warns the opening of the floodgates of regulation, and within minutes the flow rate increases until maximum value. Normally, the waterfall runs a couple of hours a day, with extended hours of operation during holidays.You gain access to the best vantage points by paying an entrance fee.
