Description
THE PALACE
Palazzo "Del Ferro" (ref: 528) is an elegant historic residence dating back to the 13th century, formerly owned by one of the most influential aristocratic families of Monte San Giovanni Campano. Located next to the medieval town hall, which features impressive Gothic windows and original doorways, the palace retains its late medieval charm. The grand entrance hall, meticulously restored, welcomes visitors with original terracotta flooring, antique wooden doors, and frescoes of the family crest, which is linked to the House of Aragon and has references to the family's Genoese origins.
THE APARTMENT
Located on the top floor (accessible by stairs and also via an electric stairlift), the 150 sqm apartment features refined and bright spaces. The main living room exposed wooden beams and period furnishings adorned with the family crest. Other rooms include three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a veranda, and a stunning 60 sqm terrace. From here, the spectacular view extends over the medieval square, the castle, and the tower, while on the opposite side, the horizon opens up to the valley, reaching as far as Sabaudia and Caserta beyond the mountains. There may also be the possibility of adding a spiral staircase from the terrace leading to a second outdoor area, the private rooftop, offering another privileged perspective over the historic village and surrounding landscape.
THE ANCIENT CHAPEL
An exceptional feature of this property is the ownership of shares in a consecrated medieval chapel, located on the first floor of the palace. Perfectly preserved, the chapel contains original furnishings and decorations, refined stuccoes, precious marbles, paintings, and artwork of artistic value. Inside, there are also relics of two saints, sacred vestments, and ancient papal bulls, making it a heritage site of unparalleled historical and cultural significance.
CONDITION OF THE APARTMENT
The entire property underwent a thorough renovation in 2011, covering plumbing, electrical, and heating systems, as well as the restoration of original elements such as exposed wooden beams, historic doors, and polychrome marble floors. Special attention was given to enhancing natural light, which floods in through numerous Juliet balconies and the veranda, offering breathtaking views of the surroundings.
ADDITIONAL SPACES
Private cellars on the ground floor (approximately 60 sqm), with plumbing and electrical pre-installations, ideal for converting into a wine cellar or tavern.
MSGC AND THE CIOCIARIA
Monte San Giovanni Campano is one of the major medieval towns in the area of Italy called the Ciociaria, the name given to the fertile land that lies south of Rome but north of Naples, situated inland in the hills in the heart of Italy. M.S.G. Campano seems to exist in a context where time has stopped in the medieval era. Here one can stroll in the historic alleys, among beautiful squares where there are renowned restaurants, while being only a few steps from the town centre with its shops and services; public transport is within walking distance; but at every corner one enjoys the silence, the views of the wonderful Castle and the breathtaking vistas over the valley. Throughout history, it has been home to notable figures, including Thomas Aquinas, who was imprisoned in its fortress.
The town is part of a network of aristocratic hilltop settlements stretching from Rome to Naples, including Veroli, Arpino, Boville, and Alvito, where ancient noble families left their mark through grand architectural legacies. Today, the village offers an authentic atmosphere, enhanced by the presence of two renowned restaurants, Corte d'Avalos and Orione, which highlight the region's culinary excellence.
The Ciociaria region is within easy reach of both Rome and Naples and their respective airports. A day's shopping in Rome is a common pastime, while an even shorter drive brings you to the charming beaches south of Rome. Alternatively, drive east, and the mountains of the Abruzzo National Park await with horse trekking in the magnificent beech forests, and sparkling mountain lakes and rivers where you can swim in the heat of the summer. And at the other extreme of temperature, although Monte San Giovanni Campano itself is temperate, less than an hour's drive brings you to the winter ski slopes.
Often overlooked, both by tourists and by those foreigners in search of an Italian home, in favour of the more publicized regions of Tuscany and Umbria, the Ciociaria remains largely an unspoilt gem with beautiful scenery and medieval hilltop towns. A home or second home in the Ciociaria, in the hilltop towns of Monte San Giovanni Campano, Boville Ernica, Arpino, Veroli or in the rolling countryside that surrounds them, will afford you a setting where over two thousand years of history combine with an idyllic rural Italian lifestyle, where you can still discover the 'real' Italy and take time out from the busy crowds of the larger tourist cities, while being less than ninety minutes journey from central Rome or either of Rome's two airports.
