The villa is located in a complex of other important residences, and is accessed from Via della Pastorella, a short walk from the center of the Borgo di Settignano.
Settignano was also a holiday destination for Florentines. Today, it is characterized by important historic villas, with private parks and gardens, built in an exclusive and highly sought-after setting, both for Florentine families and for foreigners who want to live in the countryside surrounded by greenery, yet still be convenient to Florence city center, the highway, and the airport.
The most illustrious artist from Settignano was Michelangelo, who spent his entire childhood here, where he learned the art of mastering stone with hammer and chisel.
During the 19th century, after the Italian capital was moved to Florence, Italian and foreign figures moved to Settignano, attracted by the enchanting harmony of the setting. Among them: Mark Twain (at Villa Viviani in 1893), Gabriele d'Annunzio (at the Capponcina), Eleonora Duse (at Villa Porziuncola), Aldo Palazzeschi (at Villa Giurlani), and Niccolò Tommaseo.
Artists, such as the Macchiaioli, also loved to gather in this characteristic village.
