Century , and the second goes back to the end of 1600, work of Maestro Giovan Battista Foggini. Inside innumerable works of art from which the unbelievable majolica from Tito And Galileo Chini.

Names of high nobility used to live, or to be hosts in the Villa, from whom Marchesi Gerini, Caterina de’ Medici, Antinori, Della Gherardesca, Borghese, Torlonia and several others.
