Villa di Corliano

Villa di Corliano is a Renaissance mansion in San Giuliano Terme with exterior walls adorned by Florentine Mannerist graffiti from the 16th century, including eagles, fruit crowns, flowers, and birds. The property spans 4 hectares of private land and includes an aristocratic chapel, farm buildings, an oil mill, stables, and a kaffeehaus.

The estate underwent a major renovation by architect Ignazio Pellegrini in 1755. This transformation was carried out for the wedding of Maria Teresa Scolastica to Count Cosimo Agostini Venerosi.

The central hall contains frescoes by painter Andrea Boscoli depicting mythological scenes along with representations of months and zodiac signs. These artistic works shaped the interior and reveal the aesthetic tastes of past residents.

The property offers accommodation options for those wishing to stay on the grounds. The various buildings are spread across the expansive private property, so visitors should allow sufficient time to explore the entire estate.

The vestibule displays marble busts from the 18th century depicting Roman Emperors, reflecting the family's aspirations to grandeur. The vault above features a mythological scene in which Paris presents the fruit to the goddess Venus.
