Villa della Valle, Modernist villa in Poggio di Marciana, Elba Island, Italy.

The villa features two distinct sections: an elliptical main structure with glass facades and a trapezoidal secondary building constructed from granite materials.

Between 1958 and 1960, architect Leonardo Ricci designed this residence for French fashion designer Pierre Balmain, who sold it to the Neri family in 1970.

The interior spaces combine refined living areas with exotic bedroom designs, complemented by an Italian garden containing international plant specimens and chestnut groves.

The property includes water wells for self-sufficiency and maintains visual connections to both Marciana Marina port and the Poggio settlement through strategic positioning.

Two anchoring ties secure the elliptical volume to the ground and connect the structure to the hillside, enabling access through an internal walkway.

Architects: Leonardo Ricci
