Villa Aprile, 18th-century noble residence in Ercolano, Italy
The grand Villa Aprile features an entrance with a fish pond and a central marble statue of Prometheus surrounded by gardens.
Duke Girolamo Riario Sforza commissioned the construction of Villa Aprile in the late 1700s along the Miglio d'Oro stretch near Ercolano.
The villa transformed into a social center between the 19th and 20th centuries, hosting distinguished guests including Prime Minister Antonio Salandra.
The property now operates as a four-star hotel, offering accommodations in a historical setting with access to the restored gardens.
In 1818, neoclassical elements were added to the park, including temples, artificial ruins, Corinthian columns, and an alpine chalet with water features.
