Villa Leonetti, Historic villa in Vomero district, Naples, Italy
Villa Leonetti stands on Via Aniello Falcone, featuring a sculpted gray piperno portal from the 16th century against a yellow tuff wall surrounded by terraced gardens.
The property changed ownership multiple times, passing from Villa Salve dependency through Antonio Winspeare, Michele Platania, Carlo d'Errico, until reaching the Leonetti counts.
The villa incorporates architectural elements from demolished Sirignano palace, including its historic portal, which belonged to Laura Caravita di Sirignano, wife of Count Tommaso Leonetti.
The villa maintains its residential function while preserving historical elements, situated in an elevated position that provides views over the surrounding Naples landscape.
A 17th-century lookout tower within the complex mirrors the design of Torre Ranieri located on Via Manzoni, adding military architectural elements to this residential structure.
