CASA GALVANI: HISTORIC RESIDENCE WITH HANGING GARDEN ON ANCIENT BASTION

A HISTORIC GEM IMMERSED IN THE BEAUTY OF VIGNOLA

Located within the ancient walls of Vignola, "Casa Galvani" represents an exceptionally rare example of a noble residence that has preserved its original characteristics intact. With its magnificent

hanging garden and ancient defensive tower, this property is an authentic monumental jewel that merges history, art, and elegance in a context of absolute prestige.

Within these walls steeped in memory, the celebrated composer Luigi Gazzotti found inspiration during the Belle Époque, composing some of his most refined works in a perpetual dialogue

between architecture and music. The same notes that once floated through these spaces seem to still resonate in the silences of the house, conferring upon the property an incomparable artistic

aura.

Its magnificent hanging garden, suspended like a mirage between sky and earth upon the ancient bastions, and the majestic defensive tower bear witness to a glorious past that today offers itself

as a stage for a life of sublime elegance.

Casa Galvani represents an unprecedented opportunity in the prestigious real estate panorama. The hanging garden, an authentic botanical jewel, guarantees absolute privacy in an urban

context—an exceedingly rare privilege that transforms every outdoor moment into an experience of total exclusivity. The extraordinary versatility of the interior spaces, combined with the multi-level

layout with independent access points, makes this property exceptionally adaptable: from creating an unparalleled family estate to establishing an exclusive boutique hotel or refined charming

B&B, where guests could stay immersed in history and art.

A JOURNEY THROUGH THE RESIDENCE

Ground Floor: Functionality and Versatility

Through one of two independent entrances, you access the ground floor, designed to meet the practical needs of daily life. Three garages offer ample space for vehicles, while a storage room and

two workshops lend themselves to multiple uses, from storage to the realization of personal or professional projects. The two cellars, an indispensable element of Emilian tradition, are perfect for

storing fine wines or setting up a traditional vinegar aging facility.

First Floor: The Heart of the Residence

An impressive staircase leads to the piano nobile, where the residence reveals its true essence. The entrance introduces the main salon, a reception room that during the Belle Époque hosted

composer Luigi Gazzotti and that still today presents itself as the center of the house's social life. The ceilings frescoed by Pietro Minghelli create an atmosphere of rare elegance.

From this central space, all the floor's areas are distributed: the kitchen, equipped with pantry and balcony, offers functionality and brightness. The two spacious salons allow multiple

configurations, from library to music room. Five bedrooms guarantee space for the entire family and guests, flanked by a practical wardrobe room and three complete bathrooms.

The most spectacular element of this floor is the neoclassical bridge that leads from the main salon to the hanging garden. This aerial passage introduces a unique space: a private garden built

upon the ancient defensive walls, which includes within its perimeter the historic tower, now converted into an intimate and evocative living space.

Second Floor: Independence and Flexibility

The second floor houses a completely autonomous apartment with independent entrance, ideal for guests, family members desiring privacy, or as a rental solution. The spaces include a living

room with kitchen area, a bedroom, bathroom, and storage room.

The spacious attics with exposed beams offer additional possibilities: they can remain storage areas, or be transformed into a traditional vinegar aging facility following the ancient vocation of the

Modena territory.

SUGGESTIONS OF BEAUTY

Painted Skies and Immortal Melodies

On the piano nobile, Pietro Minghelli's genius has transformed each ceiling into a fragment of paradise. Human figures and cherubs dance upon eternal skies, in a triumph of neoclassical beauty

that carries the gaze beyond matter, toward dimensions of pure aesthetic contemplation.

It is in these salons that Luigi Gazzotti, seated at the piano beneath celestial vaults, transformed inspiration into music during the golden age of the Belle Époque. The walls that today welcome

new inhabitants have been silent witnesses to the birth of compositions that have enriched Italian musical heritage, adding a further cultural dimension to this residence's prestige.

Textures and Surfaces

The floors tell silent stories: the warm embrace of ancient terracotta, the geometric dance of wooden inlays, the floral motifs that bloom from the parquet like an eternal April. Each step is a

dialogue with master craftsmen from centuries past.

The Suspended Garden

Like a floating oasis between sky and stone, the hanging garden represents man's miracle of bending nature to beauty. Neoclassical geometry marries with botanical freedom in perfect balance:

the Kaffeehaus invites refined conversations, the garden theater awaits performances under the stars, the belvedere offers eyes the magnificence of the surrounding landscape through the

amplified gaze of the telescope.

The Tower of Dreams

Like a sentinel that has laid down arms to embrace beauty, the ancient fortification stands proud, transformed today into a living space where history becomes domestic intimacy, accessible

through secret passages that increase its mysterious charm.

AN ENCHANTING TERRITORY

Vignola, jewel of Emilia, is a land where nature becomes visual poetry. In spring, a sea of white and pink blossoms envelops the city in a fragrant embrace, while the historic heritage dialogues

with a landscape that changes its appearance with each season. Suspended between the Modena hills and the industrious plain, the city offers a refuge of beauty halfway between the cultural

centers of Modena and Bologna, easily reachable through modern connections that unite contemporary convenience with the breath of history.

Casa Galvani: an unprecedented opportunity for those seeking excellence in living or an exclusive investment in the high-level hospitality sector.
