Description
ALL AND SALE Ancient VILLA from the 1500s IN TUSCANY
The beautiful and imposing villa for sale in Tuscany dates back to 1512.
The villa, among the most grandiose in the territory between Florence and Pistoia, complies with sixteenth-century late models: a large rectangular body, which is on the upstream side, two wings to form a U-shaped plan, denotes, both in the raises and in the planimetric distribution.
The Art Nouveau villa with the large surfaces the large windows and is the peremptory insertion into the surrounding environment, makes it visible even in the distance.
The main façade consists of two floors of French doors delimited by rustic "stinished" frames. The one on the first floor, raised above the ground floor, has a railing with balustrades raised by kneeling menzolos, which in turn include square openings, from which the basement receives light. Single is the embellished at the corners, for the greater extension than the usual type of villas in a Florentine area from the sixteenth century onwards. The eastern rustic, in sandstone, differs from the western one, much of Alberese, so you can assume two different periods of construction.
The date 1553, engraved in one of the sketches of the eastern bugnato, would appear to indicate in this part traces of the sixteenth-century villa, and therefore of probably very large size.
The axis of the villa is marked by the concentration of the most strongly characterized elements compared to the repetitive seriality of the façade, namely the clock, the portal, the balcony and the access staircase to the first floor.
The large arched portal is directly connected by Tuscan counterweights to the terrace of the central window on the first floor, which in turn is differentiated from the others for the curved tympanum broke by the key on the subject. In the resulting mirror between portal and balcony there is the coat of arms of the family; the putti of the flying floors that support it, the curls and the volutes that wrap it create the only rococo moment of the entire façade.
The façade is crowned by a frieze characterized by triglifi and gutte, which frame the windows of the attic.
A vast living room, which transversally occupies the entire central body of the villa, where there are still the Rococo shelves that held a series of busts, now missing, distributes the rooms of the first floor and the gallery that leads to the staircase for the upper floors.
The succession of the vast rooms of the attic has no architectural peculiarity, except for the presence of mighty truss and, in the crowning altar of the building, an environment where the mechanism of the watch is preserved.
The garden in front of the villa, on two terraces, represents a terrace only, with parapet lit by vases on baroque consoles.
The lower terrace was probably to have a design with Italian parterres, as can be derived from the presence of a lemon room.
upstream from the villa, the garden has been cut off by the nearby road; however, remains, beyond this and in axis with the villa, a large baroque neighborhood, from which a fountain was to flow, as the cattaiola on the back of the neighborhood suggests.
To the east, crossed by a gate with decorated pillars with hieroglyphs and already surmounted by two terracotta sphinches, the neo-Egyptian taste returns to one of the interior rooms) there is access to a small romantic garden, but of a certain formal value. The small park ends with an artificial hill of semicircular shape, bordered at the base by a stream that forms various waterfalls: three bridges, radially arranged, above the stream and give access to the paths that go up to the top of the hill. This solution denotes a reminder of models of the first romance, such as the artificial hill of the Della Gherardesca garden in Florence. Noteworthy are three examples of monumental Platanus Hybrida and a large Aesculus Hippocastanum, inserted within a predominantly vegetation of holves.
The small farmhouse to the west of the villa, is to be considered quite recent.
