"Afrodite: A Journey Through Art and Mythology" Step into the world of Afrodite, where ancient myths come to life through captivating artworks. In the small building known as Palazzina, explore the third room adorned with frescoes depicting scenes from Virgil's epic poem, "The Aeneid. " Here, Venus, the goddess of love and beauty, takes on various forms and roles. In one fresco, Venus appears as a huntress to her son Aeneas and his companion Achates on the sandy shores of Libya. With grace and authority, she orders them to embark on a journey towards Dido. Another fresco portrays Venus in prayer to Neptune, beseeching him for protection over Aeneas' ships. Marvel at the timeless marble sculpture named "Venus of Cannicella, " crafted centuries ago. This exquisite piece captures Aphrodite's allure and elegance that has captivated hearts throughout history. One painting showcases Venus commanding Psyche to retrieve the Waters of Styx—an enchanting tale filled with trials and tribulations. The artist skillfully brings this mythological moment to life on canvas with vibrant colors. In another section of Palazzina lies a monochrome fresco portraying Vulcan—the god of fire—overseeing blacksmiths forging weapons for Aeneas under Venus' watchful gaze. Witness their collaboration in creating powerful tools for war. Discover more representations of Aphrodite scattered throughout Afrodite's collection—a sculpture featuring her alongside Eros from Medma; an earthenware statuette capturing her kneeling form; even an allegorical representation painted during Renaissance times. Lastly, venture into Guest Lodgings where you'll find yet another stunning fresco titled "Mars, Venus and Eros. " This masterpiece depicts a tender scene between Mars—the god of war—and his lover Venus accompanied by their mischievous son Eros. Afrodite invites you to immerse yourself in the beauty and mythology of Venus.
