VILLA MARULLINA |
- Villa Marullina, though not in its present form, was mentioned in documents as long
ago as 1466. It was rennovated and extended from 1620 to 1640, with richly decorated
interiors and coffered ceilings which may have been painted by Curti and Colonna or
by Mitelli. After a series of owners, the villa was inherited by the Beccadelli noble
family. The last descendant of this family to live in the villa, its refined furnishings
by then rather worn, was the Marquis Giacomo Beccadeli, who died in about 1980. Currently
the entrance from Via Calzavecchio leads to its Park, not as full of ancient trees,
nor as large as it once was, but well-adapted to its new function: the Villa, restored
with respect for maintaining the splendor of its original architectural and interior
designs and decorations, provides prestigious offices for a variety of companies.
