State and finishing
This residence stands on the remains of ancient Roman walls, which are still visible. It was also where the Confraternity of San Lorenzo was established in the Middle Ages.
This property still treasures a few details of its original structure, like inscriptions, part of the walls, and the buttresses of the original naves.
Over the centuries, this beautiful residence had undergone some changes until the 1930s, when the Countess of Berkeley bought it to establish an art cenacle attended by prominent personalities of that time.
The story of the residence and the Countess was published in the book "Beaded Bubbles. Un’Americana ad Assisi" by Molly Berkeley), with an image of the garden on the cover (
