Italy gardens on the BBC

BBC's Around the World in 80 Gardens tonight featured some of central Italy's finest gardens. We've visited and written articles about some of these:
> Villa d'Este, Tivoli - fountain-filled hillside garden close to Rome
> Villa Adriana (Hadrian's Villa), outside Tivoli - the huge country palace of the Emperor Hadrian
> Villa Lante, Bagnaia - exquisite Renaissance garden in northern Lazio

Roman Forum & Palatine, Rome

An exciting new sight has opened on the warren-like Palatine hill in Rome: some frescoed rooms of the villa of the Emperor Augustus. But with the good news comes bad: visitors must now pay to enter the Roman Forum (Foro Romano). I used to enjoy the fantastic experience of walking through the ruins on my way home; such casual visits will now be a thing of the past. Hopefully the extra revenue will be used for preservation and archaeology.
