Acquasparta, Terni (province)

In the historic center of Acquasparta, one of Umbria’s most charming medieval towns, along its main street, a property of notable character is offered for sale, ideally positioned opposite the garden of Palazzo Cesi. The building, an elegant historic palazzetto, dates back to the second half of the 17th century and was later renovated and expanded in the late 19th century, preserving its architectural identity and historic charm. It is also associated with Luigi Bianchi, superintendent to Duke Federico Cesi, and with the broader cultural legacy of the Cesi family, whose patronage led to the founding of the Accademia dei Lincei—one of the earliest scientific academies in the world—of which Galileo Galilei was a member. The property includes the piano nobile (main floor) and the upper floor, along with spacious underground cellars and a private historic garden of approximately 750 sqm at the rear, partially enclosed by the ancient town walls, for a total surface area of approximately 548 sqm. The property requires a complete restoration, offering a significant opportunity to enhance and reinterpret its architectural and historical value. The interiors, currently arranged and registered as three separate units, with large attic spaces and generous ancillary rooms, lend themselves to a variety of uses, from a distinguished private residence to a boutique hospitality project. The garden and the extensive cellars further contribute to the uniqueness of the property, making it a rare opportunity defined by its location, history, and potential. An authentic residence where history and vision come together. Ideally located within easy reach of Rome and the main cultural destinations of Central Italy: Airports:
