Villa Torrigiani, Renaissance villa in Camigliano, Italy.
Description
Villa Torrigiani is a manor house in Tuscany that displays a colorful facade combining grey stone, tuff, and ochre plaster, decorated with white marble statues. The main building is surrounded by sprawling gardens with cypress tree avenues, a nymphaeum, and hidden areas that invite exploration.
History
The building was first documented in 1593 as property of the Buonvisi family and took its current form through extensive baroque renovations. Architect Nicola Santini shaped the southern facade and gave the estate a fresh appearance during these major changes.
Culture
The gardens showcase different styles that the Torrigiani family shaped over generations. You can see how formal Italian areas with geometric patterns sit alongside English landscape gardens, reflecting changing tastes through time.
Practical
Visitors explore the property best during a guided tour, which provides access to all main areas including the garden layouts and interior rooms. The paths through the cypress avenues and hidden garden areas are easy to walk, but you should allow time to see everything.
Did you know?
The estate contains an elaborate water games system that surprised guests who sought relief in the Temple of Flora. These hidden fountains and water effects were a favorite pastime of the baroque era and still show the ingenuity of the original designers today.
