Villa La Fiorita, 18th-century villa in Colli Aminei, Italy.
Villa La Fiorita is an 18th-century mansion in the Colli Aminei area consisting of two buildings arranged in an L-shape with gardens, statues, and fountains. The interior includes multiple grand halls now used as event venues.
The Meuricoffre family, Swiss bankers, commissioned this French-style mansion and established one of the first Swiss colonies in the Kingdom of Naples. During the 18th century the property became a cultural hub for artists and musicians.
The name reflects a Florentine tradition and connects elegance with southern Italian style. Visitors can still see the blend of French and local design elements in the halls and outdoor spaces today.
The mansion sits on a slope in Colli Aminei and can be reached on foot through the narrow streets of the neighborhood. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes as the climb to the villa is steep and the surrounding terrain can feel uneven.
Italian artist Francesco Jerace created sculptures specifically for the interior halls that still decorate the grand rooms today. This makes the mansion an unexpected place to discover the craftsmanship of this regionally important sculptor.
