FELINE, PERIOD VILLA WITH PARK AND OUTBUILDING, HISTORY OF A WONDER.
SOUTH PARMA, FELINO, “VILLA GAMBARA THOVAZZI,“ HISTORY OF A WONDERFULNESS. “Living in a mansion such as Villa Gambara preludes to an aesthetic experience concerning a well-being made of art, history and authenticity. The residence of typical quadrangular plan built in the early 19th century boasts the merit of having remained unchanged in its interior presenting a rare originality of the spacious spaces designed on an aristocratic country lifestyle. The barrel-vaulted central hall decorated with fascioni bears the noble coat of arms on its two pediments and recalls the scenic side hallway with a pavilion vault similarly decorated with fascia and ribs. The mansion is situated in the center of a park that makes it independent in an island of peace out of time, noise and hustle and bustle, yet in the convenience of its strategic location with respect to the town. The first hills overlook the horizon that can be admired in its circularity from the turret that centrally surmounts the three floors of the house. Each spacious, complete and airy level presents a strong and declared identity, brings back a history that breathes and seduces sight and heart. Entering the patrician beauty of this historic home is comparable to immersing oneself in the scene of a movie or the pages of a book that tell the elegance of details in their rarest and most precious originality. The ceilings draw broad, sinuous volumes echoed by the poetic oval openings of the mezzanine floors and the vaults of the tall entrance doors of the salons. The floors exhibit Venetian sown floors, marble and terracotta differentiated according to the intended use of the rooms marked by large fireplaces. The fixtures open wide portions of light that make this dwelling in happy dialogue with the plant poetry of the exterior inhabited by solid and proud sculptural presences such as the lions lying on guard at the entrance. Muses watch over this estate that has stopped time: gilded mirrors, framed oil-painted faces of ancestors, rich chandeliers hanging mightily, wrought sconces raising their arms in the manner of candelabra. Everything contributes in these well-articulated spaces to perfection for those who love to marvel. Where architecture, art and poetry meet, the intuition of a project that was born from a dream and can continue to live in the future makes its way. “Maria Cristina Bonati.100 meters from the town square, we propose fascinating VILLA built at the end of the 1700s, served by DEPANDANCE, WRAPPED IN 4000 sqm. of PARK and 3 hectares of agricultural land.The Villa, presents a quadrangular plan of 220 sqm,developed on 3 floors, in addition to the belvedere turret, annexed rural building of 180 sq.m., consisting of the ´ex-custodian apartment, of 120 sq.m..The villa, consists of:Ground floor: double entrance overlooking the central vaulted hall.
