IA03805 - Fulfill a Dream. This is what you can achieve by purchasing an important Gothic-period villa built in the 12th century on the hills of Lucca. At the time, it was an important residence of the Malpigli family, known for their valuable trade with the Serenissima Republic of Venice, which commissioned its construction, making it unique in the area, modeled after a Venetian palace.
The villa spans three floors and covers approximately [hidden information]. It features original, intact bifore windows, terraces, and a beautiful access avenue lined with ancient boxwood.
Over the centuries, it underwent various modifications for different uses, until it was completely abandoned, destined for a sad fate.

Today, the structure is ready for finishing touches. The process remains demanding both in terms of resources and study.
At this point, completion work must proceed. Part of this, given the historical importance of the property, is financed by the Ministry of Cultural Heritage. However, the owner, pursuing his dream, has not noticed the passing of time, which now advises him to pass the torch to someone else.
Therefore, it has been decided to sell the property. This was not an easy decision but necessary to find someone willing to complete the journey started by a dreamer in love with the energy of the property. The total funding, including non-repayable grants, amounts to €[hidden information].
