Villa Tittoni Traversi

Villa Tittoni Traversi features a U-shaped layout with a three-story main building and lateral wings surrounding a central courtyard displaying Corinthian capitals.

The villa, dating from 1651, underwent major renovations in 1776 under architect Giuseppe Piermarini, followed by interior modifications by Pelagio Palagi from 1840.

The palace interior contains nineteenth-century decorations, including frescoes, mosaic floors, and detailed stucco work that combines Neoclassical and neo-Rococo styles.

The museum welcomes visitors throughout the year, offering wheelchair accessibility and temporary exhibitions that showcase modern art collections.

The surrounding English-style gardens contain ancient trees and the Tower Palagi, which now functions as a specialized museum of mineralogy.
