Die Villa Farnesina ließ der toskanische Bankier und Geschäftsmann Agostino Chigi als Ausdruck seines Reichtums und seiner humanistischen, künstlerisch geprägten Lebensart von 1508 bis 1511 von Baldassare Peruzzi im römischen Stadtteil Trastevere erbauen. Bekannte Künstler des frühen 16. Jahrhunderts wie Raffael, Sebastiano del Piombo, Giovanni Antonio Bazzi , Giulio Romano, aber auch Peruzzi selbst statteten die Räume aus. 1579 ging sie in den Besitz des Kardinals Alessandro Farnese über, von dem sie ihren Namen erhielt.
Sie ist in ihrer stilistischen Harmonie und ihrer Eleganz eines der bedeutendsten profanen Bauwerke der Hochrenaissance in Rom und bildet durch die Architektur, die künstlerische Ausstattung und die Gartenanlage ein Gesamtkunstwerk dieser Zeit. Heute ist die Villa im Besitz der Accademia dei Lincei und zum Teil als Museum zugänglich. Hier befindet sich das Gabinetto Nazionale delle Stampe, die staatliche grafische Sammlung.

The Suardi Chapel is an oratory or private chapel inside the villa in Trescore Balneario, Province of Bergamo owned by the Suardi counts. It is dedicated to Saint Barbara and Saint Brigid and was completely rebuilt by the cousins Giovan Battista and Maffeo Suardi. It is fully covered in 1524 frescoes commissioned by them from by Lorenzo Lotto of Christ the Vine and Lives of the Saints. In the 19th century count Gianforte Suardi built a corridor connecting the chapel to the villa and modified the chapel entrance - those entering had previously immediately found themselves in front of the north wall with its depiction of Christ the Vine.
Located on the road across the Val Cavallina which links Bergamo to Lago d'Iseo, the chapel had existed since the 15th century. Around 1523 count Giovan Battista Suardi commissioned Lotto to decorate the oratory and so the artist immediately moved to the area. By this show of piety the count hoped to avert a flood and to counter the seeds of Lutheranism brought to northern Italy by the Landsknechts. The frescoes were complete by summer 1524. The artist and commissioners were friends, as shown by their correspondence discussing the cartoons for the intarsi in the choir of Santa Maria Maggiore, Bergamo. Lotto was assisted by Francesco Bonetti, documented as his pupil from 1517 to 1550.
