Description
d&d Immobili di Prestigio offers a unique opportunity for sale, offering an ancient baronial palace in the heart of San Martino in Pensili, in the province of Campobasso. The palace arose from a medieval castle, located in the center of a village in Molise, on a hill called "Pensilis," overlooking the valley. This fascinating noble building, dating back to the 11th-12th centuries, is a true testament not only to Norman history, but also to that of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, through the influence of various aristocratic families such as the De Capua family, Dukes of Termoli; the Colonna family, Princes of Stigliano; the Cattaneo family, Princes of San Nicandro; the Caracciolo family, Princes of Avelino and Torchiarolo, with documented origins as early as the 10th century; and the Tozzi-Caracciolo barons of Sant'Attanasio, with roots in Tuscany and Emilia-Romagna. The latter has retained a strong identity tied to the town's historical tradition. The Tozzi Baronial Palace also represents a symbolic link to the noble past and the role the family has played in the local community over the centuries. The building features castle/fortress characteristics in its oldest elements—walls and defensive structures, as well as subsequent residential modifications—making it sumptuous and unique in Molise. Architecturally, the palace could be an example of Renaissance or even Baroque architecture, given that these were the prevailing stylistic trends in Italy during the period when the Tozzi family was at the height of their power. The property, which spans a total area of 1,000 square meters, is divided into three apartments on two levels, offering ample space and a versatile layout. The entrance features a charming courtyard, while the balconies and open terrace offer enchanting views. The interiors retain antique materials in excellent condition, reflecting the beauty of the rooms and the exceptional architecture of the period, which seems to blend seamlessly with the atmosphere of a city of art. This residence combines art, history, and nature. Palazzo Baronale Tozzi is the ideal place for a complete cultural experience in an intimate and peaceful atmosphere, perfect for those wishing to launch a hotel, restaurant, or private club, capitalizing on its immense historical, artistic, and cultural value. Viewings are by prior telephone appointment.
