SUGGESTIONS OF BEAUTY

On the piano nobile, the genius of Pietro Minghelli has transformed every wall and ceiling into a fragment of paradise. Landscapes, human figures and putti dance on eternal skies, in a riot of neoclassical beauty that takes the gaze beyond matter to dimensions of pure aesthetic contemplation.

It was in these halls that composer Luigi Gazzotti, seated at the piano under celestial vaults, transformed inspiration into music during the golden age of the Belle Époque. The walls that now welcome new residents have served as silent witnesses to the birth of compositions that have enriched Italy´s musical heritage, adding an additional cultural dimension to the prestige of this residence.

The floors tell silent stories: the warm embrace of antique terracotta, the geometric dance of wooden inlays. Every step is a dialogue with master craftsmen from centuries past.

Like an oasis floating between sky and stone, the hanging garden represents the miracle of man bending nature to beauty. Neoclassical geometry blends with plant freedom in perfect balance: the Kaffeehaus invites refined conversations, the verzura theater awaits performances under the stars, and the belvedere offers the eyes the magnificence of the surrounding landscape through the amplified gaze of the telescope.

Like a sentinel that has laid down its arms to embrace beauty, the ancient fortification stands proud, transformed today into a living space where history becomes domestic intimacy, accessible through secret pathways that enhance its mysterious charm.

Casa Galvani represents an unprecedented opportunity in the prestigious real estate scene. The roof garden, an authentic botanical jewel, guarantees absolute privacy in an urban context - a very rare privilege that transforms every moment outdoors into an experience of total exclusivity. The extraordinary versatility of the interiors, combined with the arrangement on several levels with independent accesses, makes this property exceptionally adaptable: from the creation of an unparalleled family estate to the creation of an exclusive boutique hotel or a refined charming B&B, where guests could stay immersed in history and art.

Vignola, jewel of Emilia, is a land where nature becomes visual poetry. In springtime, a sea of white and pink flowers envelops the town in a fragrant embrace, while the historical heritage dialogues with a landscape that changes guise with each season. Suspended between the hills of Modena and the industrious plain, the city offers a haven of beauty halfway between the cultural centers of Modena and Bologna, easily reached through modern connections that combine contemporary convenience with the breath of history.
