Villa Medicea del Poggio Imperiale
Villa Medicea del Poggio Imperiale, Renaissance villa in Arcetri hills, Florence, Italy.
The Villa del Poggio Imperiale stands on a hill with expansive courtyards, featuring symmetrical architecture and decorated interior rooms spanning multiple floors.
The villa, first registered in 1427 as Palazzo Baroncelli, changed ownership through noble families until Cosimo I de' Medici acquired it in 1565.
Mozart performed his only Florence concert at this villa in 1770, marking a significant moment in the musical legacy of this Medici residence.
The villa functions as the Educandato Statale della SS Annunziata school, offering guided tours from Monday to Friday between 10:00 and 17:00.
Maria Maddalena of Austria commissioned a direct road connecting the villa to Florence's Porta Romana, creating a monumental boulevard for noble arrivals.
