Villa Maurogordato

The villa features traditional Tuscan architecture with a central building surrounded by an eight-hectare garden containing Lebanese cedars and Aleppo pines.

Giuseppe Calamai acquired the property in 1771, which later passed to Count Giraud before becoming the residence of Pandely Maurogordato in 1869.

The garden design incorporates brick columns with iron structures, reflecting the architectural preferences of 19th-century Italian nobility.

The Provincial Natural History Museum occupied the villa in 1974, with the gardens opening to public access the following year.

The winter garden, created by Gambaro brothers foundry in 1871, represents a notable example of local iron architecture.
