Exclusive Period Villa In Palestrina – 210 Sqm With Private Garden

In Palestrina, just a short distance from Rome, we offer for sale a portion of the renowned Villa Finzi Clementi, a residence of extraordinary historical and architectural charm deeply connected to 20th-century Italian history. The villa was originally part of the ancient Finzi Clementi estate, a vast agricultural property situated between Palestrina and Cave.
The estate belonged to the Clementi family and became the country residence of Aldo Finzi, a decorated World War I aviator and a prominent political figure during the interwar years. During World War II, the Prenestini Mountains played a strategic role during the German occupation. It was in this context that Aldo Finzi was arrested in Rome in 1944 and tragically killed in the Ardeatine Massacre (Eccidio delle Fosse Ardeatine), one of the most dramatic episodes in modern Italian history.
Designed between 1910 and 1912 by the illustrious engineer Antonino Clementi, the residence still preserves the aura of the grand noble estates of the early 20th century.
While the entire villa spans three main levels, the portion offered for sale—currently divided into two units belonging to different owners—is located on the raised first floor, including an additional space on the ground floor.
The property features nine spacious rooms and is accessed from the garden via a magnificent monumental staircase offering open views of the front garden and the surrounding grounds. The layout includes a large living room, 4 bedrooms, and 2 bathrooms. An internal staircase leads to the ground floor, which houses a large kitchen and a cellar.
The artistic heart of the villa lies in its floors: authentic hand-painted Vietri majolica tiles from the 1920s, which decorate every room with vivid colors and sophisticated patterns. Light is another defining feature, thanks to large original windows that flood the rooms with natural light, enhancing the carefully preserved period finishes.
The exclusive private garden is perfect for outdoor receptions or moments of relaxation, creating a lush green oasis on the doorstep of the Capital.
Villa Finzi Clementi is more than just a home; it is a piece of history. It is the ideal choice for those seeking a prestigious representative residence or a timeless cultural investment, with excellent potential as a luxury holiday home or an exclusive venue for events.
The property includes approximately 2 hectares of land, a cellar, and a garage.
