Massoni Palace, Renaissance palace in Via dell'Angelo Custode, Lucca, Italy
The palace features a private garden with four raised flower beds forming squares, bordered by small walls decorated with mosaic-composed pebbles and marble mascarons.
Giovanni Controni commissioned the construction of the palace in 1668, and during the first half of the nineteenth century, the property transferred to the Massoni family.
The garden incorporates elements of Renaissance design through its orthogonal paths, decorative marble masks, and a fountain featuring a female figure with two eagles.
The palace location in central Lucca provides easy access to other historical landmarks, making it an efficient addition to walking tours of the city center.
The garden walls display an intricate combination of mosaic pebbles, bricks, and marble decorations that extend to a basin against three perimeter walls.
