Villa Dragoni
Location and origins
The house, originally a convent of 1600, is located on a hill with a 360° view of the Umbrian-Tuscan Tiber Valley. During the renovation work a Roman mosaic (5,65mx5m) was found attributed by the Superintendence for archaeological assets in Umbria to a residence of Pliny of the first century AD.
Restoration
The complete renovation was carried out by the well-known designer Takahama in the 80s, who made and cared for everything, including the finishings.
