We would like to build a house, more or less like the Palazzo di Elusone ”… So the Countesses Fogaccia spoke to the architect Marcello Piacentini. And the construction began: in the Agro Romano, between Boccea and Aurelia, five kilometers from San Pietro, there is the Villa A little further on, the Borgata Fogaccia, born after important land reclamation and transformation works. The figure of the Villa was born around an old central tower which, over the centuries, were joined by other buildings. Entrance courtyard in 'cobblestones' with travertine cords; inside, gilded walls with shades of ivory, tuff, green, deep red, orange and purple. The travertine staircase, the mahogany-colored wooden window frames: every detail has been carefully taken care of. The architect Piacentini experimented for the first time with his own constructive conception of a private house: the living rooms are not located on the same level as the floors of the building, but halfway between the raised ground floor and the first floor. Two coats of arms dominate the floors of the entrances: the Farnese lily, the silver and blue band, the focaccia and the elm (emblems of the Fogaccia coats of arms). The staircase connects the three rooms. Pillars and arches divide the two flights. The result is an elegant interplay of lines and perspective. The heavy doors close one access to the courtyard, the other to the terrace. The large living room of 132 square meters without openings, has two protrusions, one at morning-midday, the other at evening. The 60 square meter dining room draws a rectangle with closed walls, illuminated by a large mullioned window. Everything is valuable: the floors, the ceilings, the wrought iron, the jambs. The terracotta floors, expressly made in Perugia; the ceramics of Neapolitan production. The iron is forged: the artisans of the Seriana Valley worked it in the railings, in the handles, in the door strips, in the keys, in the large chiseled bolts. The guest bathroom in marble from S. Benedetto di Valle Seriana; the taps reproduce country animals: the snail, the earthworm, the turtle. All the internal and external jambs, the entrance portals, the pillars of the terrace and the coat of arms are in peperino di Viterbo. The Villa holds 70 thousand tree species, all planted from scratch, including many damaged by the war, but then replaced with skill. Villa Giovanelli Fogaccia represents a scenographic historical residence for your receptions, weddings or business lunches. In the maximum privacy of an exclusive place to hold conventions, meetings and presentations but also all your gala evenings immersed in a splendid park with an Italian garden. LOCATION DETAILS ...
