Villa Poggio Torselli, Renaissance villa in San Casciano In Val Di Pesa, Italy
Villa Poggio Torselli stands at the end of a cypress-lined avenue on the hills surrounding the village of San Casciano in Val di Pesa.
In 1702, architect Lorenzo Merlini rebuilt the villa in late Baroque style under commission from Giovan Battista Corsini Orlandini, creating its current structure.
The villa features a central theme of Four Seasons represented by roof statues, complemented by interior frescoes and ornate decorations throughout the rooms.
Visitors can explore the Italian garden, which includes terraced levels with traditional irrigation systems, ornamental plants, and ancient rose varieties.
Pope Pius VII stayed in a specially furnished ground floor bedroom while traveling to France for Napoleon Bonaparte's coronation ceremony.
