Villa Peragallo, Private villa in Calenzano, Italy.

Villa Peragallo stands on the highest point of Calenzano's historic centre, on via del Castello. The main block is compact and symmetrical, with a central entrance and staircase, a projecting three-axis centre crowned by a clock tower, and mannerist detailing on the facade. Flanking it are a chapel and a private theatre; greenhouses, two villini, stables, an artificial grotto and a gallery beneath via del Castello fill the terraced park.

Giuseppe Targioni commissioned Florentine architect Enrico Dante Fantappiè to build the villa between 1905 and 1907 on the site of the earlier Villa Matilde, owned by the Frittelli family and bought by the Targioni at the end of the 19th century. Construction was interrupted and the complex remains unfinished. Around 1915, after the Targioni's finances declined, it passed to Cornelio Peragallo, a Genoese banker residing in Rome.

The villa's name comes from Cornelio Peragallo, a Genoese-born banker and Banca d'Italia shareholder who bought the complex around 1915 when the Targioni family's finances declined. Between the wars its park hosted costumed village festivals such as the Festa dell'Uva and the religious Quarantore procession. The private theatre and the chapel stand on either side of the main villa.

Villa Peragallo stands on the highest part of Calenzano's historic centre at via del Castello 48, beside the chapel and the private theatre, facing a forecourt with a large basin. A gallery passes beneath via del Castello, linking the two sides of the park; the second entrance is on via Mascagni. The complex is private and in need of restoration, so it is seen from the street.

The villa had its own power plant, lighting the house and park at least ten years before electricity reached Calenzano. In the interwar years its park hosted the Festa dell'Uva and the Quarantore procession; during the front's passage German troops used it as a military command.
