Villa Paolina, Neoclassical villa in Quinto Alto, Sesto Fiorentino, Italy
Villa Paolina stands at Via di Castello 66, featuring decorated facades with allegorical statues and bas-reliefs crafted by sculptor Aristodemo Costoli.
Originally owned by the Petrucci family in the 15th century, the villa was acquired by Prince Camillo Borghese in 1825 for his wife, Paolina Bonaparte.
The interior contains frescoes by Giuseppe Bezzuoli and Francesco Pozzi, exemplifying the neoclassical artistic movement of 19th-century Tuscany.
The villa connects to its elevated park through an iron bridge that spans over the former Via Quintigiana, allowing direct access to the wooded area.
The property includes artificial caves with sponge formations, a stone amphitheater, and an English-style romantic park with cypress and chestnut trees.
