Property Description
Even if its origins are lost in time, the first evidences of the fortress/house from which Villa Piediprato derives date back to 1435, when Giovanni Guglielmo Giuderocchi succeeded the last heir of Family Tibaldeschi.
Theatre of events that are portrayed in History, like the conjuring against Pope Urbano VIII, the Villa became dwelling of some among the most powerful Families of the time, from that of Cardinal Centini, to the Piccolomini, going through ups and downs, splendour and abandonment, till the recent reconstruction.
"Hic secura quies, hic pax, hic gaudia vera" "Here's quietness, peace and true joy". This motto carved in stone, towers from centuries above the entrance and welcomes the visitor, summing up the true essence of Villa Piediprato in just a flash.
A place imbued with spirituality, in which the soul relaxes, perceiving vibrations of an ancient history, traced either by the important characters that used to live here, and by the common people, the peasants who, by the end of the 19th century, used to climb up to the Villa for the "Fiera della Perdonanza", a fair that used to take place in the courtyards and gardens of the Villa.
