Willa (English spelling) villa

Japanese: ウィラ(英語表記)villa
Willa (English spelling) villa
A residence or villa owned by the wealthy in ancient Rome. Some were used as resorts for pleasure, while others were primarily used to manage estates. Remains of the latter have been excavated in France, the Rhine, England, and North Africa, but the most important are the approximately 40 willa excavated at the foot of Mount Vesuvius in Italy, which were buried under volcanic ash from the great eruption of 79 AD. The willa buildings consisted of a part for the owner to live in and a part for managing the estate, and the latter included large wine presses, olive presses, wine breweries, and threshing floors.
