Abandoned 18th-Century Italian Palace

Nestled within a serene Italian village stands an 18th-century Neo-Classical villa, a testament to the architectural elegance of its era. Characterized by grand facades, towering columns, and meticulously designed gardens, such villas epitomized wealth and sophistication during a time when land and trade defined status.
This particular estate was the residence of the Virgili family, a French-Italian lineage whose influence spanned over three centuries. Transitioning from aristocracy to prominent business figures, the Virgilis adeptly navigated the evolving socio-economic landscape. By the 20th century, they had repurposed their ancestral home into a luxurious wedding venue, hosting grand celebrations that resonated with joy and music.
However, the family's narrative took a tragic turn in 2001 when allegations of corruption and financial misconduct surfaced, leading to their downfall. Consequently, they abandoned their cherished villa, leaving it uninhabited for over two decades. Today, this hauntingly beautiful structure remains frozen in time, silently narrating the rise and fall of one of Italy’s notable families.
Join us as we explore this magnificent villa, delving into untouched artefacts that offer a rare glimpse into the Virgili family's storied past. From its architectural splendour to its poignant history, this forgotten gem holds tales that will captivate and intrigue.

It’s absolutely beautiful. I love this house. I’d really love to fix it up and use it as a wedding venue and bed and breakfast. It would be perfect for that. I wish I had the money and people to help me get it back to its original glory. Totally in love with this house. I wish I could see more of it. From top to bottom every inch of every room.
