SOUTH PARMA, SALA BAGANZA, THE VILLA IN THE HILLS THAT ONCE HOSTED GARIBALDI.
Nestled among the rolling hills of Maiatico, just a 20-minute drive from Parma, which overlook the plain from above, centuries-old vegetation surrounds a villa immersed in the scent of conifers.

The estate boasts an extraordinary history linking it to General Garibaldi, who visited in 1861 to see Marquise Teresa Araldi-Trecchi—then the estate’s owner and sister of Lieutenant Colonel Gaspare Trecchi, the general’s friend and trusted confidant.

Contemporary accounts attest to how much Garibaldi enjoyed strolling freely through the local countryside, admiring the Malvasia vineyards, and dining outdoors in the shade of a mighty chestnut tree, a memory of which remains to this day.
This relaxing vacation, taken during a private visit to the Marquise, sparked keen interest among the neighboring towns, drawing numerous prominent figures eager to meet the “Hero of the Two Worlds” to the estate.
The uniqueness of this experience helps rank the villa among the significant sites of historical interest that preserve the identity of the Duchy and imbues it with a resonance of emotions that can be felt even within its walls.

Dating back to the early 1800s, the central structure was flanked in the 1900s by a side wing that culminates in a panoramic turret. From the rooftop terrace, one can admire the park—now part of the protected Boschi di Carrega area—and the vast plain stretching out beneath the interplay of the highest branches.

The ground-floor entrances lead to a long corridor featuring a ceiling with rhomboidal decorations on the beams, from which branch off the reception areas, such as the living room and the grand salon. These spaces are characterized by a coffered ceiling with floral paintings on a gold and burgundy background, a majestic marble fireplace richly adorned with column-like carved stone pilasters, and exquisite leaded glass shutters made of colored blown glass circles. In the kitchen, a stone fireplace stands out, its bas-relief elements evoking medieval iconography, such as the winged face on the lintel and the “birds at a spring” motif on the slab above it.

The main staircase, flanked by a wrought-iron balustrade, leads to the sleeping area, which features four bedrooms, a bathroom, and a hallway. The climb to the top floor reveals a vast space that has preserved its original terracotta floors and ancient beams that form a sturdy truss; five rooms branch off from the central area, enhanced by sloping beams that create unique and evocative spaces.


A final flight of stairs leads to the panoramic rooftop terrace that crowns the residence with a touch of poetry.

This residence, rich in history and potential, offers tranquil spaces capable of restoring a quality of life that has almost been lost, yet is still within reach.
