Historical Villa
The first documents concerning the villa date back to 1670 and report that
this property belonged to the Ottalini family.
According to Belli Barsali in her “Ville e committenti dello Stato di Lucca”,
the villa and its garden were built on lands belonging to the Buonvisi
family, the owners of villa Spada below.
After the Ottolini, in 1822 the villa passed to princess Paolina Bonaparte
Borghese, who placed the main body on the eastern façade, decorating it with
a low-relief lunette, the mosaic of the staircase and the big tympanum.
In 1836 the villa passed to the Boccella family, then to the Ruggeros and,
after a series of father passages, today it belongs to the Pardini.
The current
appearance of the villa is the result of the works done after the middle of
the 19th century. Some decorative elements have been added to the body of
the building, as the tympanum on the western side, on the same axis of the
original one and the balustrade running along all the roof perimeter.
Among the other architectural elements in the
property, the lemon-house is especially precious; it belongs to the same
period of the main body and is currently inhabited.
The façade design is characterized by big
arched windows and in front there is a small formal garden.
1160 m2, ground 11 hectares.
