The building known as the Orangery inside the Villa Borghese park was used as a winter shelter for citrus plants after 1849, when the original structure was seriously damaged in fighting between the Papacy and the Roman Republic. In the 18th century the structure was known as the Casino dei Giuochi d'Acqua due to its fountains and nymphaeums, surrounded as it was by the Giardino del Lago with its spectacular displays. Its halls, richly decorated and furnished by the Borghese family, were home to parties and society events. After decades of dilapidation and improper use, the Orangery was restored under an ambitious project equipping it to house the art collection donated by Italo -American businessman Carlo Bilotti. This new cultural foundation represents yet another element in the project to transform Villa Borghese into a Park of Museums, a nerve centre of art and culture. Alongside the rooms designated for the exhibition of the permanent collection, spaces will be allocated for temporary events in order to keep the museum open to new directions in the field of contemporary art and to render it a more vital cultural centre. The permanent collection of the Carlo Bilotti Museum comprises 22 works including paintings, drawings and sculptures. The central core is made up of ,8 works by Giorgio de Chirico, representing the most famous subjects produced by the artist from the second half of the 1920S to the 1970s. The invention of themes such as the Archaeologists, the Horses on the River Bank, the Furniture in the Valley or in the Room, and the Knights or, dates back to a happy period, subsequent to the years of Ancient Warriors the first Metaphysical period. Other works include portraits of Tina and Lisa Bilotti by Andy Warhol (1981) and of Carlo, with a Dubuffet in the background, by Larry Rivers (1991); the painting Summer, by Gino Severini (1951); and finally a large Cardinal in bronze by Giacomo Manzu, which is exhibited outside.
