Villa Lancellotti is an Italian Renaissance villa built in 1582 by Cardinal Bonanni in Frascati, Italy, the nearest of the town's villas to its center, with formal gardens featuring a 16th-century nymphaeum and a water theatre modeled on Villa Mondragone. Restored over the centuries by later owners including Prince Pietro Piccolomini in 1730 and Prince Filippo Massimo Lancellotti in 1866, it hosted notable guests such as King Charles Emmanuel IV of Sardinia, Pope Pius VII in 1805 and the writer George Sand in 1855. The villa itself is no longer open to the public, though part of its gardens, known as Ombrellino, has become a public park.
