The magical 3-story villa, protected and landmarked, was once the mayor’s residence.
The lush, expansive grounds are super-private, creating a creative haven and thinking retreat in the “green heart of Italy”.
The villa sits on Via Antonio Gramsci, named for the philosopher who founded the communist Party in Italy.
The architecture remains untouched—the pristine 1930s details have a distinct Studio Ghibli feel.
The smallest authentic old-world bathroom - pre-skincare shelfie era - but at least in Prada mint green.
