Luxury property with frescoes inspired
On the outskirts of Modena, next to Maranello, where the famous Enzo Ferrari was born, there is this 17th-century villa for sale, set in a 25,000-sqm private park. Registered in the General Catalog of Cultural Heritage, this villa is made up of 2 adjacent buildings, has 4 levels and measures 1,830 sqm. The rooms of the main villa are in a Pompeian style, as its renovation coincided with the start of excavations in Pompeii. The decorators were sent to the archaeological site, fascinated by the excavations, they suggested creating a wonderful vestibule with a double volume and an oval plan, enriched by decorations on the stairwell and the walls. The frescoes also adorn the 3 big reception rooms, a big dining room and two kitchens. On the 2 upper levels there are 7 bedrooms and numerous relaxation areas, study rooms and small living rooms with fireplaces. The top floor, currently used as a storage area, is easily convertible into a living space. Above, a splendid panoramic terrace offers a boundless view of the surrounding nature. The second building has a rear façade in Gothic style, with mullioned windows and pointed arch windows. It features an independent entrance and car park, and 6 recently renovated apartments, offering 8 bedrooms, 6 kitchens, 6 living rooms and a wonderful back porch. Outside, the 25,000-sqm English park is dotted with green lawns and centuries-old trees, statues and columns, and a tennis court. Ref: 11565
