Located in the municipality of Capannori, just minutes from Lucca's historic centre and the beaches of Versilia, the estate combines historical significance, architectural prestige and remarkable development potential.
Designed during the second half of the 19th century by renowned artist and architect Augusto Passaglia, author of several important monumental works throughout Tuscany, the villa still preserves its magnificent original frescoes, monumental staircases, decorative details and architectural features that testify to its remarkable heritage.
