5 The Chigis Chigi-Albani is a Roma princely family of Sienese extraction descended from the counts of Ardenghesca, which possessed castles in the Maremma, southern Tuscany. The earliest authentic mention of them is in the 13th century, with one Alemanno, counsellor of the Republic of Siena.

6 The Excess of the Chigis Agostino Chigi ( ) was the most famous member of the family during the Renaissance: he turned into an immensely rich banker, and built the palace and gardens afterwards known as the Farnesina, decorated by Raphael, and was noted for the splendour of his entertainments. Pope Julius II made him practically his finance minister and gave him the privilege of quartering his own (Della Rovere) arms with those of the Chigi. Chigi held sumptuous repasts in the villa. In order to show his contempt of money, he was said to have all the silver dishes thrown into the river after the end of the parties: however, his servants were secretly ready to recollect them with nets draped under the windows.

7 Accademia dei Lincei The Accademia dei Lincei, (literally the "Academy of the Lynxes", but also known as the Lincean Academy), is an Italian science academy, located at the Palazzo Corsini on the Via della Lungara in Rome, Italy. Founded in 1603 by Federico Cesi, it was the first academy of sciences to persist in Italy, and a locus for the incipient scientific revolution. The academy was named after the lynx, an animal whose sharp vision symbolizes the observational prowess required by science. In 1871, the academy became its country's official scientific academy headquartered in the Villa Farnesina.

23 Neo-Attic Style Term coined by Heinrich Brunn in his Geschichte der griechischen Künstler (Stuttgart, 1853) to designate sculptors of the 1st century BC to the 2nd century AD who added the epithet Athenaios ( the Athenian') after their signatures. The sculptors produced copies and adaptations of earlier statues and marble reliefs on kraters, candelabra etc also derived from earlier works ( This style designation was popularized by the German classical archaeologist and art historian Friedrich Hauser ( ), in Die Neuattischen Reliefs (Stuttgart: Verlag von Konrad Wittwer, 1889). The corpus that Hauser called "Neo-Attic" consists of bas-reliefs molded on decorative vessels and plaques, employing a figural and drapery style that looked for its canon of "classic" models to late fifth and early fourth-century Athens and Attica.

24 La Gradiva- The One Who Walks Plaque with dancing relief from the Theatre of Dionysus.

25 La Gradiva 1903 novel Gradiva by German writer Wilhelm Jensen, which in turn became the basis for Sigmund Freud's famous 1907 study Delusion and Dream in Jensen's Gradiva ("Der Wahn und die Träume in W. Jensens Gradiva"). The story is about an archaeologist named Norbert Hanhold who holds a fascination for a woman depicted in a relief that he sees in the Naples National Archaeological Museum. It is the story of a young man who falls in love with a plaster cast of a Classical relief and then meets a woman at Pompeii who is remarkably like the sculpted figure. Hanhold later dreams that he has been transported back in time to meet the girl, whose unusual gait captivates him as he imagines her walking on the stepping stones that cross the roads in Pompeii while the hot ashes subsume the city in 79 AD. The novel fascinated both Freud and the Surrealists.

26 La Gradiva Freud owned a copy of this relief, which can be found on the wall of his study (the room where he died) in 20 Maresfield Gardens, London now the Freud Museum. The relief is believed to have been taken from an original held in the Vatican Museum (rather than Naples, where Jensen fictionally places it).

27 Salvador Dali

28 Salvador Dali used the name Gradiva as a nickname for his wife, Gala Dalí. He used the figure of Gradiva in a number of his paintings, including Gradiva encuentra las ruinas de Antropomorphos (Gradiva finds the ruins of Antropomorphos).
