Villa del Barone, Renaissance villa in Bagnolo di Sopra, Montemurlo, Italy.
The Villa del Barone stands prominently on Monte Javello, featuring symmetrical architecture and baroque decorations throughout its grand structure.
Constructed around 1530 by Baccio Valori, the villa was later confiscated by Cosimo de Medici after Valori's execution during the Battle of Montemurlo in 1537.
The interior halls contain frescoes by international artists, with notable rooms including the Marine Hall and the Minerva Hall displaying Renaissance artistic techniques.
The private property undergoes restoration work and opens to visitors during specific events like the FAI Spring Days, requiring advance arrangements for access.
Local tales mention unexplained sounds within the villa, connected to a historical incident involving Baron Valori and his daughter in December.
