Author identified as Mad[am]e J[ustine] W[ynne] C[omtesse] d[e] R[osenberg]. In the 1780s, Wynne lived as a guest of Angelo Quirini at his country retreat, the Villa of Alticchiero, near Padua. Encouraged by Querini, and her romantic companion at the time, Bartolommeo Benincasa, Wynne wrote a description of the villa, with details of Querini's important collection of antiquities which adorned the gardens.
