His frustration with himself was so harsh that his parents had him psychologically evaluated at school. Īs a child, Hawk was described as " hyperactive", and his mother stated that he was "so hard on himself and expected himself to do so many things."

At the front entrance, surrounded by trees there’s a carved stone statue facing the front balcony from the first floor – well known from the film. There’s also a cellar accessible from the main staircase. The main hall and some of the rooms have beautiful frescoed ceilings painted in the 16th century by Aurelio Busso.

The artwork was a gift for Count Griffoni Angelo, the last Griffoni owning the villa between 18. It was Finoli Bassano’s engraving depicting the villa and the garden with the pond.
