Description
Volterra, one of the most fascinating cities in italy, with its millennia-old history and mysterious legends, is home to this extraordinary noble palace, a testament to three centuries of history. The property, built in the 13th century on the ruins of an ancient medieval palace, has been passed down through only one family, who has carefully preserved its original integrity. The family's crests are scattered across the furniture and paintings, telling a story of tradition and passion.
The architecture of the palace reflects that of typical 18th-century noble palaces, with spacious and welcoming rooms, perfect for aristocratic family life. The living room, with its "grotesque" frescoes in vivid colors and a magnificent Carrara marble fireplace, is the ideal space for hosting guests. The "tapestry room", with its trompe l'oeil, conveys the grandeur and elegance of the family who lived there. The other rooms are equally sumptuous, with frescoes reminiscent of the late 18th century and neoclassicism.
The first floor, dedicated to the family's daily life, follows the same layout as the ground floor, with a central living room adorned with frescoes and a 1700s majolica stove. The adjoining rooms include a kitchen, a dining room with painted ceilings, and two bedrooms, one of which features a frescoed ceiling with a cameo of the Three Graces, painted by a Volterra artist.
On the second floor, there are large attics that can be converted into bedrooms, offering great potential.
With its central location and imposing structure, the palace offers endless possibilities, including conversion into a luxury tourist residence or headquarters for foundations and businesses. The property represents a unique opportunity to live in history, in the heart of one of Tuscany's most captivating cities.
