Villa Palladio stands in a dominant position over Rome, in Via della Camilluccia. A particularly exclusive and quiet corner of the city. The Villa, of great impact and superb architecture, dates back to the late 1950s and is immersed in a predominantly flat garden of exquisitely romantic taste with fountains, water features and colonnades. The elegant and majestic villa is mainly divided into three levels above ground. The main area is accessed both from the large external door and from the garden onto an important living room with fireplace, next to which is the dining room and a study library in precious cherry wood. The garden level also houses the guest apartment. On the upper floor there is the large master sleeping area with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, two living rooms each serving the bedroom and generous walk-in wardrobes in fine woods. Each room is served by access to the private terrace. The floor is also served by an office connected to the kitchen via an internal dumbwaiter. The service area, in the basement, is large and includes, in addition to various rooms used by the staff, a very large kitchen, various dedicated offices, the ironing area and access to a very particular cellar. In the garden there is also a generously sized swimming pool with a relaxation area next to it. The Villa: A living homage to the past, capable of preserving the charm of a now distant era. The architectural project was entrusted to the Archistar Tomaso Buzzi. A character of great humanistic and literary culture, he distinguished himself as one of the main designers of the twentieth century in Italy, garden architect, restorer and inventor, as well as decorator of important noble palaces. He was a professor for the chair of life drawing and furniture at the Polytechnic of Milan, which he shared with Gio Ponti. He had very close relationships with the Novecento Milanese group (Muzio, Cabiati, De Finetti) and soon began a long and fruitful collaboration with Giò Ponti, which extended from architecture, to urban planning, to design, to participation with articles and interventions on the pages of “Domus”, the prestigious magazine founded in 1928 by Ponti himself. Buzzi was one of the protagonists of the most important artistic events of those years (as a founding member of the Club of Urbanists he participated for example in the famous competition for the urban planning of Milan with the Forma urbis Mediolani project); had prominent organizational roles in national and international events on applied arts (Milan Triennale, Enapi pavilions, Amsterdam International Exhibition, National Sports Exhibition etc.); among the founders of the Labirinto, he held the position of artistic director for Venini in Venice, actively collaborating with Paolo Venini, Pietro Chiesa, Giulio Rosso and the main artists in the glass field.
