Villa for sale in Castel d'Ario, Urban Center
CASTEL D'ARIO - BIRTHPLACE OF TAZIO NUVOLARI - HISTORICAL
FORMULA ONE CHAMPION AND FERRARI DRIVER (born on 11/16/1892
probably on this property). (This property is located between
Verona, Mantua, and Lake Garda, all destinations reachable in about 20/30
minutes.) THIS PROPERTY BELONGED TO THE NUVOLARI FAMILY SINCE THE MID-
1800s (an orally handed down story intertwined with the research of
Professor Gabriella Mantovani, curator of Faimarathon, narrates that Tazio's then-
Uncle, Angelo Nuvolari, Mayor and country doctor of Castel
D'Ario, asked Tazio's mother to spend the last days of gestation at this house.
She was therefore a guest of her uncle, who had a medical practice on the
property, and it seems that this is indeed the true place where
the great Champion was born. At the time of Tazio's birth, this farm was
already available to the Nuvolari grandparents for decades, first as tenants and
then as owners). On an area of over 10,000 square meters of parkland stands a
17th-century palace that could be considered, in terms of architecture, period, and
construction, among the most famous Venetian Villas. The central body of the
main house has ceilings nearly 5 meters high with hand-painted coffers and finely
decorated floors (refer to the photo book). The rest of the more recent property
has already been divided into several independent apartments,
many spaces need to be completely redeveloped, also from a structural point of view,
and it certainly needs major renovation, but the large
area, the centrality of the location in the middle of the town, and the peculiarities of the
plot, which also has direct access to the Molinella river, which skirts the
property to the east, would allow for the creation of a historic villa of
great prestige here and could possibly be used for hospitality activities,
a school with dedicated areas and classrooms, and it is also possible to create an
eventual auditorium or even transform it into a luxury restaurant that wants
to promote the culture of "risotto alla pilota," very famous throughout the world and
which finds its birthplace here. It is also possible to imagine creating
receptive structures with spas for customers passionate about the world of
classic cars who want to spend time in the lands where the great
Formula One champion was born and grew up.
