The Villa, built in 1711 and seemingly uninhabited since 2010, stands as a testament to neglect. The swimming pool and park are overgrown, furnishings scattered, hinting at past rummaging. Once owned by the Moretti family, its grandeur, resembling a religious institute, belies its true nature as a country estate. A labyrinthine layout adds to its mystique, set atop a hill in an ancient village.

Entering reveals semi-empty service rooms on the ground floor and grand halls above, adorned with unique coats of arms and medieval-themed décor. Bedrooms boast walnut furniture, while a library sits empty but for its elegant vaulted ceiling depicting zodiac signs. The tower offers panoramic views from a balcony.

The once-majestic park now lies in disrepair, with statues and fountains obscured by vegetation. A gazebo hints at past festivities, while the neglected swimming pool reflects its sad state, filled with stagnant water and fallen leaves.

In its abandonment, the Villa remains a forgotten gem, a casualty of a society that has lost touch with its appreciation for beauty.
