Torri di Firenze

Torri di Firenze: A Historic Residence

The building that welcomes our guests today dates back to the 16th century, when it was the Palagio a Torri of the noble Pazzi family of Florence.

The family owned another estate in the Arno Valley, now known as Villa Le Falle. After the Pazzi Conspiracy of 1478, it passed to the Medici, a dynasty that continued to prosper until the 17th century.

The transformation of the old Palagio a Torri continued beyond the changes made in the 17th century. Its new owner, Enrico Danti, fully restored the ancient building and, in 1809, undertook a major Gothic Revival renovation, adding a second tower beside the first. Similar in shape but slightly smaller, the two towers were joined by a corridor built above a large loggia.

The work was completed in 1816, and the estate was temporarily named Podere delle Torri. To complete Danti’s renovation, Guelph-style battlements were added to both towers.

Once the new castle and renovation works were complete, the estate could finally take the name that suited it: Castelnuovo. Many historians and 19th-century architectural experts considered its harmonious beauty a rare example in Tuscany, with only a few buildings of its kind.

The castle’s most striking features are its symmetrical volumes, its open relationship with the surrounding landscape, and its central block with a recessed lower floor flanked by enclosed projecting wings.
