Historical residence in Tuscany
The History of Villa Pianoia
Immersed in the evocative Tuscan landscape, Villa Pianoia was built on an ancient farmhouse structure of the vast estates of the famous Medici poet Angelo Ambrogini, known by the name of Angelo Poliziano.
The villa, over the years, underwent various transformations and expansions until reaching its final completion in the 19th century. During the Second World War it was first a refuge for the partisans and then the target of German bombs.
At the end of the 1970s, Commendatore Arcangelo Iapicca, a building contractor from southern Italy, purchased the estate, then little more than a ruin. Consolidation and restoration were his work. He made Villa Pianoia a magical place where he used to spend his free time with his family and the many friends who surrounded him.
After his death, the entire property was inherited by his nephew, also Arcangelo Iapicca. Arcangelo jr’s dream has always been to make Villa Pianoia shine like it once did, in memory of his grandfather to whom he was so attached.
After a long renovation, today Villa Pianoia is open to the world, ready to welcome with the warmth and love that have always characterized it.
