The opposite wing of the floor and the mansard level host further bedrooms and amenities, ensuring independent spaces for guests or children. The true distinctive element of the estate is the second independent building: an ancient deconsecrated church transformed into a residence. Here, the soaring heights and original vaults of the sacred architecture dialogue with a high-impact contemporary living space.

The property, situated in a stately and well-connected setting, allows for reaching Rome and Ciampino Airport in just minutes, combining the charm of history with the convenience of urban services.

This residence, which belonged to actress Mariella Lotti in the 1950s, became a true legend as the country residence of Count Luchino Visconti di Modrone, one of Italy's greatest directors, known for his impeccable taste and aesthetic perfectionism.
