Palazzo Conchiglia

Italy is known for its incredible villas with enormous gardens. This villa certainly is one of the most appealing ones in the area. Its walls and gardens are not only full of sensations but also full of history. History that, given the current conditions of the villa, does not receive the justice it deserves.

The baroque and neoclassical villa erected out of a pre-existing medieval castle. It has hosted many different families and had been sold several times. During the Second World War, the villa suffered an incursion by partisans. This due to a liquor deposit that had been hidden there. After the war the owners return to live in the villa, bringing back the ancient splendor.

Since the late fifties, the villa was sold to its latest owner. An anonymous Swiss company. Since that moment the building didn't receive a new purpose. It’s been uninhabited and decaying ever since.
