Il Pincio is a beautiful location situated in the Villa Borghese Gardens. In the past it was property of the French Academy but when they moved out to Villa Medici, Giacomo Valadier redesigned it. The Pincio's characteristics are its large tree-lined avenues and fountains and most importantly, its famous terrace where you can admire the magnificent view of Rome overlooking Piazza del Popolo.
