Villa Filangeri

Villa Filangeri is a noble residence in Santa Flavia with a Baroque facade marked by a grand double-ramp staircase and medallions bearing Rococo ornaments at the entrance. Inside, rooms feature wooden paneling and ceiling designs with floral motifs typical of 19th century decoration.

The house began in the early 1600s as a small dwelling owned by a priest named Don Giacomo Lamattina. It was purchased in 1666 by Pietro Filangeri, who significantly transformed and expanded the property.

The name reflects the Filangeri family who shaped the property after acquiring it in the 1600s. Inside, decorative choices like wooden panels and ceiling patterns reveal the tastes and refinements that mattered to residents of that era.

The garden can be visited on weekdays when the Town Hall is open, with entry through an archway beside the main building. It is worth checking opening times in advance, as access depends on municipal office hours.

The grounds contain a winter garden with tufa stone arches enclosed in glass panels. Most striking is an artificial mound on the property topped by a small bronze structure designed as a coffee house.
