The Medici Villa in Castello Florence, has undergone a historic restoration.
A milestone for Tuscany
The work involved the four façades, the courtyard, the roof, the entrance halls and the windows and lasted about two years. ”The system of the Medici Villas in Tuscany,- said Eugenio Giani, president of the Tuscany Regional Government, - is a heritage of extraordinary beauty and incredible historical, artistic and architectural worth. Adding to the charm of the Castello villa is the fact that it is home to the Accademia della Crusca, which safeguards the Italian language. The restoration of the villa's exterior brings it back to its former splendour and is a milestone in the recovery of the historical and cultural heritage of our region and of Italy.”
“Villa Careggi will reopen by 2026”
President Giani also took the opportunity to take stock of the restoration of another of the Medici villas in Florence, Villa Careggi, which is owned by the Tuscany Regional Givernment. “The restoration work on this Medici villa where Lorenzo the Magnificent died, is proceeding well, and I am confident that by the end of 2025 or the beginning of 2026 it will be open to the public.”
