Villa Magni, Italian national heritage villa in San Terenzo, Italy.
Villa Magni is a residential structure along the Ligurian coast near Lerici, distinguished by a series of arched walkways and doorways. The building occupies a coastal location that was formerly more directly accessible to the water before road construction separated them.
The building was first constructed during the 16th century as a monastery for a religious order. It later became a private residence occupied by a notable literary family during 1822.
The villa displays features of Italian coastal architecture with arched passages that reflect seaside living traditions. Visitors can see how the openings and walkways are oriented outward toward the water.
The building has limited public access but the exterior can be viewed from the surrounding coastal paths at any time of year. Walking along the nearby waterfront gives you different perspectives of how the structure sits in its location.
The villa served as home to a celebrated English literary family for just a few months during their stay. This brief chapter added to the building's cultural significance beyond its monastic origins.
