This is one of the finest examples of an Italian-style garden which has been lovingly tended and cared for by the Capponi family who acquired possession in the 17th Century. The family also renovated this old country home, which belonged to the father of the 15th Century sculptor ‘Rossellino’. In the 20th Century the garden was enriched with fountains and statues under the careful guidance of skilled gardeners, at a time when the villa belonged to a princess. Restoration works were also carried out to repair WWII damage.
