Villa di Geggiano


In origin, the villa di Geggiano, which has belonged to the Bianchi Bandinelli family since 1527, was a cottage. In 1768, when Anton Domenico Bianchi Bandinelli married Cecilia Chigi, the building was transformed into a magnificent villa with a private chapel and a garden.

The entrance gallery is decorated with frescoes representing the twelve months by Ignazio Moder; the frescoes take inspiration from Bartolozzi`s printings. Five rooms of the villa still present their original furniture.

The villa is surrounded by a garden divided into two areas: the so-called "piazzone" (which means "large square"), stretching right in front of the building, and an area adapted as vegetable garden, featuring geometrical flower beds and a fish-pond.

In the southern part of the "piazzone" there is an 18th-century verdure theatre. Two frontons decorated with the Chigi Zondadari and Bianchi Bandinelli`s coats of arms crown the arches forming the apron stage. In the niches in arches there are two statues by the Maltese sculptor Bosio, representing Tragedy and Comedy.

At the end of the 18th century Vittorio Alfieri spent a long time in the villa and performed one of his works in the verdure theatre.

Moreover, some scenes of the film "Stealing Beauty" by Bernardo Bertolucci were shot in the garden of the villa.
