Villa delle Sacca, Historic building in Prato, Italy.

Villa delle Sacca stands on Spazzavento hill with three floors, a garden, and a chapel featuring medieval architectural elements and original stone structures.

The monastery, established in 1276, housed nuns until 1390, when Olivetan monks acquired the property and initiated extensive renovations throughout several decades.

The villa stored the notable Andrea di Giusto polyptych until 1784, which now resides in the Palazzo Pretorio Museum collection in Prato.

The building requires substantial restoration work, as no maintenance operations have been performed since 1965, leading to structural deterioration.

Between 1775 and 1967, the villa served as a summer residence for Convitto Cicognini students, including writers Gabriele D'Annunzio and Curzio Malaparte.
