Itinerary: Arisotocratic residences from the Renaissance to the 20th century
Recorded for the first time in 1059 and then in further later documents, Stomennano was the site of a canonical community in the medieval period, although we do not know whether there was also a castle.
The currently dominant structures are those of the beautiful seventeenth century villa built by the Accarigi and then Griccioli families, accessible along an avenue of ancient cypresses.
The main body consists of two rectangular buildings placed one alongside the other and linked by an architrave supported by columns. These allow a view of the 19th century Romanesque style park around which the various buildings annexed to the villa are located.
The garden located at the end of the cypress avenue was planted in the seventeenth century with geometric flowerbeds and hedges and polygonal water features with central putti.
