History
From a fortified tower to a residential villa, Villa Romasi has gone through several structural revisions until arriving at its current configuration, and in 2014 obtained recognition as a national monument of historical and artistic interest pursuant to Article 10, p 1, Legislative Decree 42/2004.
The Villa initially consisted of a single nucleus, the fortified tower protected by a moat that surrounded all its sides. Access was only possible from the gateway located on the main elevation, surmounted by a defensive structure from which boiling liquids were once poured to protect the entrance. Once the defence requirements were over, the moat was covered over and in its place were the stables and the second building, perpendicular to the first, together with the votive chapel, the dépandance, the irrigation wells and the cistern!
Traditional methods and techniques and natural materials were carefully selected for the restoration of the Villa, including earthenware plaster, marble and natural wood for furniture. The objective that guided the rebirth of Villa Romasi was to enhance what was already there, with deep respect for its unique character. Vaulted ceilings, antique furniture, paintings by artists characterise the Villa. And then handmade ceramic lamps, decorative elements and custom-made furniture create a unique encounter in every room.
