Salendo le scale che fiancheggiano il Teatro del Fontanone si raggiungono due padiglioni posti al sommo della scenografica e articolata composizione a terrazze che partiva dall'originario ingresso agli Orti. Destinati in origine a voliere, questi ambienti avevano una copertura leggera in rete di rame dal profilo esotico, finestre ad arco su più lati e graffiti sulle pareti esterne. In seguito furono trasformati in magazzini e perfino nell'abitazione di P. Rosa, archeologo direttore degli scavi per conto di Napoleone III dal 1861 al 1870.

English:
The stairs flanking the Teatro del Fontanone lead up to two pavilions placed at the top of this complex theatrical composition of terraces starting from the original entrance to the Gardens. Originally used as an aviary, these rooms had a light roof in copper netting with an exotic profile, arched windows on several sides and graffiti on the outer walls. They were later used as storerooms and then became the residence of P. Rosa, the archaeologist who directed the excavations on behalf of Napoleon III from 1861 to 1870.

The Farnese Gardens, or "Gardens of Farnese upon the Palatine", are a garden in Rome, central Italy, created in 1550 on the northern portion of Palatine Hill, by Cardinal Alessandro Farnese. They were the first private botanical gardens in Europe; the first botanical gardens of any kind in Europe were started by Italian universities in the mid-16th century, only a short time before.
