Villa Mattia Battistini is an authentic jewel that offers the unrepeatable opportunity to acquire a piece of Italian artistic heritage. There is the scent of wisteria to envelop guests at the entrance of Villa Mattia Battistini, the historic home of the famous baritone and his family. With the evocative Pompeian red façade and the portico of vines with large red and white bunches, the entrance welcomes us in a renewed and energetic cascade of works of art and nature. Opera and music have always been at home here since Mattia was born in 1856, destined to become one of the greatest baritones in the history of Bel Canto. Beloved by Tsar Nicholas II and Emperor Franz Joseph of Austria, he is called "The King of Baritones and the Baritone of Kings".
