The Story of Coselli Collection — A Timeless Tuscan Legacy
In the heart of the Lucchese countryside, surrounded by rolling hills dotted with centuries-old olive groves, noble villas, and landscapes seemingly suspended in time, lies Coselli Collection: a place where history, elegance, and vision converge in one of Tuscany’s most extraordinary estates.
Coselli Collection is not merely a real estate asset. It is a centuries-old story, a cultural and architectural heritage passed down through generations, preserving the most authentic soul of Vorno, one of the most exclusive and sought-after villages in the Lucca area.
The earliest records of Vorno date back to the 10th century, when the village was known as Castellaccio, named after an ancient castle that once dominated the surrounding landscape. Over the centuries, these lands became home to prominent aristocratic families, including the prestigious Controni-Pfanner family, connected to the Austrian Habsburg dynasty. Thanks to these international ties, the villas welcomed distinguished guests from across Europe, including the King of Denmark.
The history of the estate later became intertwined with that of the Matteucci family, custodians of an extraordinary chapter in Italian innovation. It was within one of these villas that Felice Matteucci developed the world’s first prototype of the internal combustion engine—an invention that left an indelible mark on engineering history and is today officially recognized by the Barsanti & Matteucci Foundation.
The origins of Coselli itself reach even further back. The earliest documented evidence dates to the 13th century, when the enchanting fishpond of Borgo Bernardini was created. Still perfectly preserved and restored today, this remarkable body of water has reflected the beauty and harmony of the estate for centuries.
In 1624, Count Cosimo Bernardini, a highly influential figure in Tuscany, commissioned the construction of Villa Lenka (formerly Villa Bernardini) as a prestigious summer residence—a refined retreat away from the city. To this day, the villa retains the grandeur of that era through the magnificent frescoes adorning its noble floor, meticulously restored to their original splendor.
The modern chapter of Coselli Collection began in 1996, when the Fanucchi family acquired the two estates with a clear vision: to preserve their historic soul while reimagining them for contemporary luxury living.
Andrea Fanucchi oversaw the structural restoration, carefully modernizing walls and systems to contemporary standards, while his wife Lenka, with refined taste and tireless dedication, curated the interiors, furnishings, and decorative details, transforming each villa into a warm, elegant, and timeless sanctuary.
Their sons, David and Luca, expanded this vision internationally, establishing Coselli Collection as a globally recognized brand synonymous with excellence, discretion, and authentic Tuscan lifestyle.
Today, Coselli Collection stands ready for its natural next chapter.
Thanks to its exceptional combination of historic heritage, architectural significance, absolute privacy, and strategic location, the estate represents a rare opportunity for transformation into an ultra-luxury resort, destination spa, medical retreat, wellness sanctuary, or exclusive private members’ estate.
Some places are acquired.
Others are entrusted to those who preserve them.
Coselli Collection belongs to the latter: a legacy to protect, enhance, and pass on to future generations.
