Villa San Liberale was erected by Antonio Vellaio, after the acquisition of large plots of ground, over existing buildings. Then the property passed through heritages till 1983. It was sold to the current owners, who overtook a vast restoration of all the complex, in 2000.
What was the era and/or the architectural style in which the property was built?
The complex consists of the main building, with its facade facing west, which engages an extension to the north at that time connected with the rustic wing demolished in the twentieth century. To the east there is an addition in 1932, with a large iron frame. Isolated in the west is the stable block, currently used as a caretaker's house, and to the east lies the oratory. The villa is a medieval building, later enlarged and remodeled especially outside. The access is directly from the Viale di Cart. The front garden is divided into two large flower beds. In the back of the grassy area is bounded oratory. The façade is quite simple with a stone staircase, flanked by two symmetrical doors communicating with the ground floor, leading to the main entrance preceded by a small terrace. The simple portal, flanked by two tall windows and further by two slightly projecting balconies, culminate with a simplified entablature in stone that supports the balcony of the upper opening. The villa is distinguished by the large central hall, or atrium entrance, marked by two rows of two columns with ionic capitals, almost clinging to the north and south walls. The chapel, a rectangular hall, was restored by the Bianco family in 1845, by the di Suni in 1942 and by the current owners in 2015
