Profile
|
 This exclusive Villa is one of the most important villas of the area, built at the top of the Town between the 17th and 18th century. The Villa known as "Il Palazzo", was built for one of the most eminent families in Florence, Visani - Pesciolini, whose members governed Florence. |
 The Villa is surrounded by acres of formal garden and parkland consisting of neatly clipped, formal hedges, trees and flower-filled terracotta pots. The vista passes over the roof of the top of the town of Londa and on a backdrop of verdant rolling hills. Internally the accomodation offers infinite space and maximum privacy. It is exquisitely furnished with antiques and comfortable sofas. |
 The History
Among the mountains of the Mugello, a few kilometers away from Florence, you can find traces of a history worthy of a great European capital. Small towns of ancient origin have grown up along the course of the river Sieve. Previously an important Etruscan region, the Sieve Valley and the central Mugello afterwards became the site of colonies and towns in Roman times.
|
 The Medici family which originally came from this area, and also the Lorena family, made it their pride and joy, investing huge sums in order to consolidate their presence around Florence. Important buildings and fortresses, castles, villas and palaces remain to testify to this area of growth in the Mugello. Even the course of the artistic and cultural history of Florence has been greatly influenced by this area, artists such as Giotto and Beato Angelico were born here.
Medicean Places
The Medici and the great Florentine families left many positive and beautiful signs in the Mugello and Sieve Valley, such as: Fortezza di San Martino Casello del Trebbio Villa di Cafaggiolo Palazzo dei Vicari Castello Nipozzano Villa di Poggio Reale |
