Villa Spedalotto, Neoclassical villa in Santa Flavia, Italy.

The Villa Spedalotto incorporates Greek revival elements with a central portico and two symmetrical wings arranged around an open courtyard facing the Mediterranean Sea.

Constructed between 1784 and 1793 under architect Giovanni Emanuele Incardona, the villa provided accommodation for the exiled royal family of Naples in 1799.

The interior decoration combines Empire style with Baroque influences, featuring trompe-l'œil frescoes created by artist Elia Interguglielmi inspired by Simon Vouet.

The villa sits on a hillside among olive groves near Palermo, with a terrace covered in blue and white Vietri tiles installed in 1845.

Jesuit astronomer Father Angelo Secchi conducted astronomical observations from the villa's terrace during the 1870s.
