The villa was stripped of its fine frescoes and mosaics and then re-buried after 1763 – it has yet to be re-excavated.
Camille Desmoulins said of the French republicans in 1789 that they were "mostly young people who, nourished by the reading of Cicero at school, had become passionate enthusiasts for liberty". Jim Powell starts his book on the history of liberty with the sentence: "Marcus Tullius Cicero expressed principles that became the bedrock of liberty in the modern world." Likewise, no other ancient personality has inspired as much venomous dislike as Cicero, especially in more modern times.
A modern villa was built on the site after the Rubino family purchased the land from Ferdinand II of the Two Sicilies in 1868.
