SOGLIANO CAVOUR - CENTER In the ancient heart of Sogliano Cavour, where stone tells noble stories and every corner resonates with authenticity, stands a prestigious 19th-century noble palace, a true architectural masterpiece that embodies the charm of a refined and unique era. Overlooking the main square, nestled among the village's most charming streets, the building has multiple entrances, encompassing over 2,000 square meters of indoor space, 22 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, large panoramic terraces, and a 1,455 square meter internal garden that pulsates like a silent, green heart. The property is spread over multiple levels and its corner location allows for independent entrances for easier division of the internal spaces for different uses (residential, offices, showroom, etc.) The 260-square-meter ground floor houses the noble family's historic study and two elegant reception halls, along with numerous utility and storage rooms covering 780 square meters, historically used for the production of oil and wine. These spaces testify to the artisanal and productive vocation that has characterized the residence over the years. The upper floor is accessible from two separate entrances, both of which connect to the garden, an element that enhances the functionality of the residence, ensuring privacy, independence, and a harmonious continuity between internal and external spaces. Climbing the ancient stone staircase, you reach the 995m2 main floor, greeted by a neo-Gothic setting with theatrical charm. Thus begins a fascinating journey through time: original mosaics by the Peluso Brothers, baroque frescoes, polychrome stained glass windows, star-shaped and barrel-vaulted ceilings. Among the most striking artistic gems is a room decorated in Chinoiserie style, with frescoes depicting oriental landscapes, delicate floral motifs, and masterfully painted exotic figures, a testament to the cosmopolitan taste and refined cultural sensibility of the family that owned it. From the Rococo splendor of the state room, with its refined stucco, gilded mirrors, and precious fabrics, one is then enveloped by the solemn atmosphere of the Baroque room and the austere elegance of the Neo-Gothic room. A succession of harmoniously orchestrated suggestions that make this residence an authentic paradise of nineteenth-century eclecticism. Spacious reception rooms, master bedrooms, and numerous panoramic terraces offering breathtaking views of the village and garden, creating a perfect blend of interior and exterior. Service areas with star-vaulted and barrel-vaulted ceilings complete the home's functional offerings. Among the most valuable rooms on the main floor are pictorial decorations by Pietro Della Gatta, a Galatina-born artist active in the early 1900s. His signature, dated 1931, is still visible on one of the paintings, a testament to the refined craftsmanship that further enhances the interiors. His works are distinguished by their delicate colors, elegant compositions, and decorative harmony, perfectly in keeping with the noble style of the residence. In the basement, with a surface area of approximately 430 m2, there are ancient cellars and storage rooms in living stone, an added value rare: the productive soul of the building. Further enhancing this extraordinary property are two warehouses totaling 2,000 square meters, plus 600 square meters of storage space, with independent access from Via Galatina. These are available for separate purchase. The spacious and versatile spaces are suitable for multiple uses: expansion of a hospitality facility, a cultural center, a spa, or an exhibition gallery.
