    A place to celebrate the Saturnalia in the country


    Bompiani painting


    The Saturnalia was originally celebrated in Rome for only a day (December 17) to commemorate the dedication of the temple of Saturn, but it was so popular that over the years it expanded to a whole week. Augustus tried to reduce it to three days, and Caligula to five, but to no avail.
