State of repair
The Villa is an integral part of the history of Todi and the entire surrounding area, with documented evidence of its existence dating back to the 1400s. However, its origins are almost certainly much older, as an extensive and meticulous restoration completed in 2004 and repeated in 2024 brought to light artifacts dating back to the Roman era. In 1999, the current owners began renovation work that restored the Casale with views of Todi to its former glory.
A bronze coin depicting “Caesar Augustus,” mosaic fragments, numerous worked travertine stones, and load-bearing arches made of stone and bricks attest to the fact that the current building was constructed following the demolition of the so-called “Palazzo di Traiano,” a Roman villa whose remains in concrete, still present today, correspond to the ancient foundations.
The structure was then owned for many centuries by the Nuns of the ancient order of the Lucrezian Sisters, as evidenced by a notarial deed dated August 9, 1699, signed by architect Francesco Sforzini. They resided there at least until August 23, 1747, the year when the small internal church dedicated to Saint John was stripped of the fresco depicting the “Virgin on the Throne with Child,” which was transferred to the internal chapel of a parish church where it remains preserved.
All buildings, which are in excellent condition, feature stone walls, wooden ceilings with terracotta tiles, and doors, gates, and window frames crafted from solid wood.
