Villa di Geggiano, Baroque villa in Castelnuovo Berardenga, Italy.
Villa di Geggiano is a baroque residence with a rectangular footprint set among formal gardens designed with architectural elements by sculptor François Joseph Bosio. The grounds also support olive trees for oil production.
The property became part of the Bianchi Bandinelli family in 1527 when Girolama Santi brought it as her dowry upon marrying Girolamo Bandinelli. This family connection shaped the estate's path through the following centuries.
The interior walls feature frescoes from the 1700s depicting family members and scenes of the seasons throughout the rooms. These paintings give the spaces a personal character and reflect the tastes of those who called it home.
The property operates as a venue for events and celebrations, with rental accommodations available for guests. Access is typically arranged through event bookings or by special request for visits.
An outdoor theater sits on the grounds where Italian playwright Vittorio Alfieri performed his works during his time at the villa. This space preserves the memory of an important chapter in Italian theater history.

Siena is a Tuscan city built on three hills, where medieval streets wind between brick buildings and open onto piazzas. The shell-shaped Piazza del Campo hosts the Palio horse race twice a year and serves as the town's main gathering place. The Cathedral, with its black-and-white marble facade, stands on one of the highest points. From the top of Torre del Mangia, the city spreads out in all directions, with its terracotta rooftops and surrounding hills visible. Gothic and Renaissance architecture appears throughout the streets, in the form of palaces, churches, fountains and loggias. The Palazzo Pubblico contains frescoes and civic art, while the Pinacoteca Nazionale displays paintings from the Sienese School. The Biblioteca Piccolomini holds illuminated manuscripts. The Basilica of San Domenico rises on a hill, offering views across the rooftops. The Fortezza Medicea and the university botanical garden provide additional perspectives on the city and its landscape. Beyond the center, the Etruscan necropolis at Malignano, Villa di Geggiano with its gardens, and the Chianti sculpture park add to the range of places to explore.
