Henry, See also:Cardinal See also:York, owned a See also:villa at Frascati. The villas of the See also:Roman See also:nobility, with their beautiful gardens and fountains, are the See also:chief attraction of Frascati. The earliest in date is the Villa Falconieri, planned by Cardinal Ruffini before 1550; the most important of the See also:rest are the Villa Torlonia (formerly See also:Conti), Lancelotti (formerly See also:Piccolomini), Ruffinella (now belonging to See also:Prince Lancellotti), Aldobrandini, See also:Borghese and Mondragone (now a Jesuit school). The surrounding See also:country, covered with remains of See also:ancient villas, is fertile and noted for its See also:wine. Frascati seems to have arisen on the site of a very large ancient villa, which, under See also:Domitian at any See also:rate, belonged to the imperial See also:house about the 9th See also:century in which See also:period we find in the See also:Liber Pontificalis the names of four churches in Frascata. The See also:medieval- stronghold of the See also:counts of See also:Tusculum (q.v.), which occupied the site of the ancient See also:city, was dismantled by the See also:Romans in 1191, and the inhabitants put to the See also:sword or mutilated. Many of the fugitives naturally took See also:refuge in Frascati. The see of Tusculum had, however, always had its cathedral See also:- CHURCH
