Built in the early 20th century, this iconic estate has long been a sanctuary for the cultural elite, once welcoming guests such as Stefan Zweig, Franz Werfel, Pietro Gadda Conti, and even the philosopher Benedetto Croce. In the summer of 1939, heiress Barbara Hutton also graced the villa with her presence.
