Description
Ref: 001
Palazzo Antenangeli represents a rare and magnificent example of aristocratic residence, showcasing the elegance of Renaissance nobility. This palace, built between the late 1500s and early 1600s, stands on Roman foundations, possibly above an ancient temple dedicated to Mithras, and preserves traces of centuries of history, making it a unique residence in the Italian aristocratic landscape.
LAYOUT
Noble Floor (third floor)
The noble floor of Palazzo Antenangeli, on the third floor, represents the historical and prestigious heart of the residence. Here, the representative salons unfold in a succession of extraordinary rooms. The coffered ceilings, restored ancient doors, and fine terracotta floors evoke the grandeur of the nobility who commissioned them. Among the rooms, the ancient chapel of Saint Victorinus stands out, a Louis XV-style jewel housing the finely carved marble sarcophagus of the saint. Every corner of this floor attests to the greatness of the residence, which hosted illustrious historical figures: from King Charles III of Bourbon to Queen Maria Amalia of Saxony, and General Joachim Murat, who stayed here and gifted the family a pair of Bohemian crystal girandoles.
Ancient Village and Garden (Fourth Floor)
On the fourth floor, accessible from various points on the noble floor, one enters a true ancient village, developed with cobblestones reminiscent of the parallel Via Greca, the oldest street in Arpino, which is said to have been built by Cicero and constructed by his Greek slaves. From here, one enters the panoramic garden, with a wisteria gallery, a rose garden, and fruit trees. The garden, at the top of the palace, offers an unparalleled view of the village and the surrounding valley.
Murat's Turret and Olive Grove
The hill, easily reached through the garden, hosts Joachim Murat's turret, completely restored and now the only surviving medieval and Renaissance watchtower of Arpino. It is said that while staying in this palace, Joachim Murat often visited this tower to sign official documents but also for more intimate and romantic meetings, away from the court's gaze and political concerns. The large olive grove, which extends over a private area adjacent to the turret, completes the picture, immersing the property in both a rural and aristocratic landscape.
Independent apartments (First - Fourth Floor)
In addition to the representative apartment on the noble floor, with 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, the palace offers three other independent apartments, perfect for guaranteeing total privacy and independence to guests. One is located on the first floor, while the other two are on the fourth floor, accessible via the characteristic cobblestone village, separate from the main residence. On the first floor, there is an apartment of about 200 sqm, currently used as a private art gallery, with an ancient stone fireplace, exposed beams, historic doors, and a fragment of Roman wall still visible. On the fourth floor, accessible via the village, two apartments are separated from the main residence. Both feature large master bedrooms and restored wooden-beam ceilings. One of these apartments includes a spacious attic area that extends up to the fifth floor.
Parking and Cellars
On the ground floor, the palace has a large private parking area with an automatic gate and spacious cellars (about 100 sqm), which have also been renovated.
