The Villa Aldrovandi Mazzacorati is situated in the Camaldoli estate purchased by Annibale Marescotti in 1616. In 1761 the building was remodelled for the wedding of Gianfrancesco Aldrovandi Marescotti and Lucrezia Fontanelli and in 1763 the small theatre with two tiers of open galleries supported by stucco caryatids was added with busts by F. Balugani and paintings by Basoli. A further storey was built in 1765 and between 1770 and 1772 Neo-Palladian additions were made by Francesco Tadolini including the six-column porch and a triangular tympanum. In the late 18th Century the villa became the property of Marquis Mazzacorati.
