Through the history of the Residenza

1862

Count Carlo di Cristoforo De Vecchi

The Residenza del Vescovo was built at the behest of Count Carlo de' Vecchi, who envisioned it as a country residence and hunting lodge. The villa was constructed during a significant period in history, shortly after the unification of Italy, as a private residence intended for country living and for hosting members of the local aristocracy. A plaque was placed on the façade, bearing the inscription “For the necessities and comforts of life,” reflecting the residence’s original purpose and its commitment to providing comfort and well-being in a peaceful countryside setting.
