Garden of the today Museum of Santa in Maria in Cappella today in Rome, Italy. The garden next to the church was turned into a riverside playground, the Casino del Belvedere, in the 17th century by Donna Olimpia Pamphilj 1591-1657. She was the sister-in-law of Pope Innocent X. In 1857 the family decided that a nursing home for the elderly was more needed in the area than a private pleasure garden, and so founded one. This was first such institution in Rome, and still functions as such today. It is administered by the Daughters of Charity of St Vincent de Paul from 1858, and is now known as the Casa di Riposo Francesca Romana. The garden was preserved, attached to the nursing home, and counted as one of the largest private gardens in the historical city center since the Doria Pamphij family remained in possession of the complex.
