Villa Guicciardini Corsi Salviati, Renaissance villa in Sesto Fiorentino, Italy
The villa features a grand red entrance door, ornate niches with dog statues, and formal gardens divided by intersecting paths through manicured lawns.
In 1502, Simone di Jacopo Corsi purchased the estate, which underwent major renovations in the 17th century under architects Gherardo Silvani and Baccio del Bianco.
The garden represents three centuries of Italian landscaping evolution, from Renaissance geometric patterns to 19th-century English-influenced design with curved pathways.
Visitors can arrange tours by contacting Pro Loco Sesto through email at prolocosesto@gmail.com or calling +39 3313447471 for appointments.
The villa contains a specialized bird-catching area called ragnaia, constructed between 1751 and 1752, which remains a notable garden feature.
