The house has a wonderful peristyle painted where typical elements from the garden can be seen like hedges, sculptures and fountains.  The most famous of these paintings is of course Venus with long curl hair standing in a huge shell.  The Goddess is naked but, covered in jewels, she is accompanied by a cupid and  a child (could be MARTE FANCUILLO).
