Villa Caruso di Bellosguardo, Renaissance villa in Lastra a Signa, Italy.
The villa features a symmetrical design with a connecting gallery supported by columns between two main building sections, reflecting late Renaissance architecture.
In 1540, the Pucci family purchased the property, and architect Giovanni Antonio Dosio transformed it into a natural and artificial pleasure park in 1585.
The Enrico Caruso Museum, established in 2012, contains over two thousand artifacts documenting the life and career of the renowned tenor.
The municipality of Lastra a Signa manages the villa through the Associazione Villa Caruso, organizing regular exhibitions and cultural events.
The garden contains animal sculptures created by Romolo del Tadda, who also contributed to the famous Boboli Gardens in Florence.
