Villa di Spedaletto, Renaissance villa in Lajatico, Italy.
The Villa di Spedaletto stands in a rural location near Lajatico, featuring multiple architectural elements from different historical periods and styles.
Originally built as a Roman fortification, the structure became a shelter for pilgrims managed by the Knights of Tau before Lorenzo de Medici acquired it in 1496.
The interior decoration involved prominent Renaissance artists including Ghirlandaio, Filippino Lippi, Pietro Perugino, and Botticelli working on frescoes.
The villa remains under private ownership by the Corsini family, and visitors need to contact the Tourist Office of Lajatico for information about possible visits.
A fire destroyed most of the original Renaissance frescoes, leaving only traces of the artistic masterworks commissioned by Lorenzo de Medici.
