Abstract
The article examines the antiquarian activities of Pirro Ligorio and members of the Academy of Sdegnati (1541–1545) (Accademia degli Sdegnati). The Academy consisted of a group of Italian and French (and also Dutch-German) antiquarians and scientists whose extensive program was based on a new scientific study of Vitruvius, and represented the first comprehensive attempt to articulate the goals of classical archeology.

5. Pincian Hill is located in Rome and surrounded by the Aurelian Wall. Originally the hill was outside the ancient city, in the period of the late Republic, so large villas and gardens (for example, the Gardens of Lucullus, Sallust, Pompey) were erected there. Because of the multitude of gardens, the hill was also called collis hortulorum – the hill of gardens. At a time of the Empire, the hill entered city limits and began to be built up. Today’s name of the hill comes from the family of Pincii, who owned large estates on a hill. During the Renaissance, the Villa Medici, the garden complex of Villa Borghese, were built there.
6. Gardens of Sallust – the ancient Roman garden and park ensemble belonged to the Roman historian Sallust. Gardens in the form of a hippodrome were located behind the then city wall in front of the Collins Gate in the north of the city at the foot of the Quirinal. In the gardens there were the Venus Temple, the Obelisk of Sallust, and others.
