Main Features

Description

Immersed in history and timeless charm, we present for sale an important residence dating back to the 16th century: "Villa Riggio di Campofiorito-Trabia, its historic garden of approximately 4 hectares within which falls the "Ninfeo" artefact attributed to the architect and sculptor Paolo Amato, considered one of the leading exponents of Sicilian Baroque.

The entire garden, within which the residence is located, extends from Via Santa Maria di Gesù to the Chiavelli hamlet. The building complex comprises the noble residence and the ground floor body originally intended to house the stables, arranged frontally to form a large rectangular courtyard, an arrangement that recalls that of the baglio. The Villa is composed of a rectangular plan on two main levels and a mezzanine floor, connected by an internal staircase made of Castellammare red marble.
The respective floors have an area of approximately 510 sq m, for a total of all three floors of 1530 sq m. The sheds and stables, which are located in front of the building, have an area of approximately 168 sq m. The noble floor is accessed from a large entrance hall on the ground floor characterised by a Billiemi stone floor.
Inside, the ceilings of the noble floor are decorated with stucco in floral compositions and cartouches characterised by contrasting colours. Traces of frescoes are hidden under post plasterwork. Ancient wallpapers are present in some rooms. The flooring of the rooms on the noble floor is made of decorated majolica.
The main facade is punctuated by pilasters that frame the openings and by horizontal bands with the same regular design that is found on the side fronts.

Within the garden along the avenue is the magnificent rocaille ninfeo attributed to Paolo Amato (1634-1714). It is a large Baroque scenic machine, characterised by sculptures, reliefs, stuccos and water games that create a suggestive and highly symbolic environment. This example of decorative architecture reflects the culture of the time when aristocratic homes were conceived as spaces of representation and symbols of power. Its historical value lies in its ability to evoke the lifestyle and aesthetic taste of the 18th-century Palermo aristocracy.

The Ninfeo of Villa Trabia Campofiorito, already chosen in 1967 as a backdrop for a service by the famous photojournalist Henry Clarke for the American magazine "Vogue", with its extraordinary architectural beauty and its natural context of great charm, offers numerous opportunities for use in the hospitality sector and for the organisation of events, representing an ideal setting for activities that require an exclusive, elegant and suggestive environment.
