Property Description:Steeped in history and beauty, this extraordinary villa dates back to the last years of the 1700s, with its construction initiated in the very early 1800s by Marquis Mazzacorati.Designed as the centerpiece of the festivities of the neoclassical Villa Aldrovandi at Camaldoli-a villa said to have been rebuilt in 1770 according to the designs of Francesco Tadolini for the family of Count Carlo Filippo Aldrovandi-this architectural masterpiece represents an era of great splendor.Mazzacorati took possession of this sumptuous property, which includes a monumental complex where a rare example of theater in a villa finds its place. Here, works by the talented stage painter Antonio Basoli blend with the taste of the time, reflecting French architectural and pictorial fashions. The influence of the design of Palazzo Albergati in Zola Predosa, commissioned by the Napoleonic Imperial Crown around 1805, is palpable in every corner of this magnificent place.Today, the villa stands majestically in a park of more than 5 hectares, consisting of a central body (Villa Impero) and two separate bodies: an annex and a large garage, the latter with potential to turn into a civilian residence.Crossing the threshold, one is immediately struck by the breathtaking frescoes and the magnificence of the main hall, which spans more than 130 square meters, with ceilings reaching extraordinary heights of more than 9 meters. On the upper floor are three large rooms, easily adaptable to different configurations. The top floor, used as a refined attic apartment, offers two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen and two charming terraces, facing east and west respectively, perfect for watching the sunrise and sunset.The basement is dedicated to kitchen and office areas, offering versatility and functionality.The outbuilding, in need of renovation, covers 140 sqm and boasts a private garden and a beautiful terrace of more than 30 sqm, which directly overlooks the estate's garden, creating an enchanting corner of relaxation.The current garage, similar in shape to the annex, has a square footage of about 60 sqm, with the possibility of transformation into another civilian residence.Currently stacked as A/10, the villa lends itself to be both a prestigious private residence and an ideal headquarters for banking institutions or companies.An unmissable opportunity for those who wish to experience history in a context of refined elegance.
