Villa Strozzi: A 500-Year-Old Tuscan Manor in Bagnolo, Italy

Tucked away in the quaint, off-the-beaten-track town of Bagnolo, Italy, you'll find Villa Strozzi - a 500-year-old manor that's been a Strozzi family home since the 16th century. Once called home by the notable figure, Piero, this villa has seen a multitude of changes, the current facade dating back to the 1742 remodel. Despite the Strozzi male line ending in 1863, the villa still remains within the family. A stroll through its chambers reveals a palpable sense of time, with a 16th-century fireplace bearing the ancient Strozzi emblems, a grand salon adorned with early 19th-century decor, and an oratory dedicated to St. Lucia, featuring 19th-century quadratures, a stucco altar, and a painting of St. Lucia herself.
