Villa Montalvo, Renaissance villa in Campi Bisenzio, Italy

Villa Montalvo extends over 3,000 square meters with multiple wings, a chapel, and formal gardens surrounded by a 19-hectare urban park.

The first written record of the villa dates back to 1305, when it was a fortified house during conflicts between Guelphs and Ghibelllines.

The villa currently houses the municipal library and Historical Archives of Campi Bisenzio, serving as a center for educational and cultural programs.

The municipal administration manages guided tours of Villa Montalvo, which can be reached by public transportation from Florence.
