Set on the hills of Uzzano in Tuscany’s Valdinievole, this exceptional historic estate combines architectural distinction, complete privacy and an internationally significant musical legacy. In the summer of 1895, Giacomo Puccini composed the second and third acts of La Bohème here, as documented by his autograph inscription and the original inventory preserved in the villa. The 2,300 sqm covered complex comprises a 970 sqm principal villa arranged over three floors and approximately 1,350 sqm of ancillary civil and rural buildings. It offers 11 bedrooms, 11 bathrooms, an independent guest annexe, cellar, garage and private parking for more than ten cars. The historic protection order dates from 1913, while the property’s origins extend to the 17th century; it was acquired by the Orsi Bertolini family in 1686, with the internal chapel consecrated in 1733 and major extensions completed in 1851. Symmetrical façades, pietra serena window surrounds, a double-flight external staircase and a refined piano nobile define the architecture. Original 19th-century polychrome tempera decorations enrich the interiors. The roof was restored in 1993 and the façades in 2012. Included is the original 1848 piano on which Puccini worked. Twelve hectares of Italianate gardens, avenues, formal flowerbeds and a fountain crown the hilltop, with historic rural structures offering potential for sensitive redevelopment. Close to Montecatini Terme, Lucca and Florence, it is a residence of rare cultural and hospitality appeal.
