The story of a villa
The first information about the villa are found in a document dated 1427 in which Jacopo di Francesco Pulci complaint to register ownership of a Florentine fortress in the City of laterite Mugello. Ancient fortified palace is a square courtyard, a portico with columns, an ancient well and a fragment of a tower. From 1457 to 1466 the town was the haunt of writers and scholars such as Luigi Pulci, Lorenzo the Magnificent, Mariotto Davanzati, Bernardo Gianbullari.
Here were written love songs and poems including La Nencia da Barberino and La Beca da Dicomano. In 1490 Antonia, widow of Bernardo Pulci, sold the property to Piero di Francesco Bettini and these gains to the Marquis, who transformed it into a house as is indicated by a plaque on the front door.
The villa has been restored in the nineteenth century shows how we can see today.
