According to an information card in the house -
“In the garden at the centre of the triporticus, the original design of the flowerbeds was reconstructed thanks to the imprints of the fences and casts of garden plants. The garden was also decorated with a fountain which was crowned with a statue of a young boy, on which we can identify traces of original colours.”
