Villa Imperiale of Pesaro, Renaissance villa on San Bartolo hill, Pesaro, Italy.
The Villa Imperiale consists of two connected buildings with multiple courtyards, terraces, and gardens situated among olive groves near Pesaro.
Construction began in 1452 under Alessandro Sforza, and Francesco Maria I Della Rovere later transformed it into a grand residence between 1523 and 1538.
The first floor contains eight rooms with frescoes by Dosso Dossi, Bronzino, and Raffaellino del Colle depicting military and political events of Francesco Maria I.
The villa opens for guided tours from May 15 to October 2, 2024, with advance reservations required for access to the frescoed rooms and gardens.
Eight zinc chests containing Pope Clement XI's documents were transferred from Albani Palace to Villa Imperiale in 1915 for preservation.
