The building you are now standing in the ancestral home of the Sermolli family, a noble Italian family that bought the villa in 1602.<\/p>\n
Within a mere four decades, the Sermollis expanded the villa from its original 18 rooms to its current 54, including storage rooms, a kitchen, bathrooms and so on.<\/p>\n
The wine cellar, which is used to be the villa\u2019s outer wall, is the sole surviving element of the original 13th century building. The villa was the residence of the Sermolli family for more than three centuries, beginning in around 1640. The villa\u2019s domain once included extensive farmland, a record of which is in view next to the reception desk in the old land register from 1878. This land was pledged to farmers who were required to give the Sermollis half of their annual crops, which were stored in structures such as the limonaia, the villa\u2019s outbuilding \u2013 now the site of the villa\u2019s sun deck. This land was pledged to farmers who were required to give the Sermollis half of their annual crops.<\/p>\n
These products were stored in structures such as the limonaia, the villa\u2019s outbuilding \u2013 now the site of the villa\u2019s sun deck. For centuries the quasi-serfdom to which the farmers were subjected enabled the Sermollis to acquire considerable wealth and purchase farmland and fishing lakes on the marshy plain below Buggiano.<\/p>\n
In the mid 17th century Count Leopold began draining the marshes \u2013 an effort that was called bonifica.<\/p>\n
Up until then all villages, towns and cities had been built on hills because the plains mainly comprised marshland where malaria was rife Once the century-long process of draining the marshes had been completed, cities and towns could be built on the plain . Also Montecatini Terme, whose original location was called Montecatini Alto (\u201chigh Montecatini\u201d).<\/p>\n
Many resident of Buggiano Castello also migrated elsewhere, causing the town to be eclipsed by nearby Borgo a Buggiano (\u201cthe hamlet near Buggiano\u201d). In the 18th century even the city hall was relocated from the magnificent 13th century Palazzo Praetorio (on the piazza 200 meters above the villa, which can be visited) to Borgo a Buggiano. More than 20 successive generations of Sermollis lived in the villa until 1954, when the last childless family member was residing there and the villa, which was in dire financial straits, was sold to an American composer.<\/p>\n
Most of the farmland had already been sold off or had been laid waste by military conflicts and rural migration. Nonetheless, the striking Buggiano red that the Sermollis used in the paint for all of their buildings is still visible today \u2013 a testament of the family\u2019s legacy.<\/p>\n
Only the poorest farmers lived in houses made of exposed stone, while their somewhat better off fellow farmers, as well as affluent landowners such as the Sermollis, could afford to plaster over the stone.<\/p>\n
In the 1970\u2019s the villa was sold to a group of Swiss artists, who used the building as a vacation home, gallery and concert space for nearly four decades.<\/p>\n
Since the spring of 2011, the villa has been a bed and breakfast that enables its guests to have the unusual experience of staying in a magnificent preserved home of former Tuscan nobles.<\/p>\n","treno":"
