Description
Covering approximately 400 sqm (4305 sq.ft), the apartment was used as a private theater in the 19th century: the large central hall once hosted a stage where artists performed for the entertainment of the noble families who owned the magnificent 18th century villa over the years. The grand fresco adorning the hall dates back to the mid-19th century, a period during which Giuseppe Garibaldi also stayed at the villa as a guest of the Gnecchi Ruscone family.
A recent renovation has expertly restored the service areas and the sleeping quarters, using contemporary materials, solutions, and furnishings. The result is a beautiful combination of history, style, and elegance. The estate includes a vast park with an Italian garden, large communal areas on the villa’s ground floor, a swimming pool, and a tennis court. Today, the property is organized as a condominium, offering owners regulated access to the shared spaces and facilities, all of which are impeccably maintained.
A special mention goes to the grand ballroom at the heart of the piano nobile: in the 18th century, it served as Napoleon’s headquarters during his campaign against the Austrians. Later, it became the “hall of receptions and celebrations” for the aristocratic families who lived in the villa. Today, it is available to the owners of the individual units for their private events.
