Located in Valdinievole, this historic estate is deeply connected to a milestone in musical history: in the summer of 1895, Giacomo Puccini composed the second and third acts of La Bohème here, as documented by handwritten manuscripts still preserved within the house. The property commands the summit of a hill and encompasses approximately 2,300 sqm of indoor space. This includes the three-story main villa (970 sqm) and various residential and rural outbuildings totaling around 1,350 sqm, all enveloped by a 12-hectare century-old Italianate park that ensures absolute privacy.The interior features 11 bedrooms and 11 bathrooms, an independent guesthouse, a cellar, a garage, and parking spaces for over ten vehicles, making it perfectly suited for high-end hospitality projects. The symmetrical, plastered facade is embellished with pietra serena stone frames and a double external staircase leading to the piano nobile (noble floor). The interiors retain original 19th-century decorations, featuring polychrome tempera paintings with floral motifs. The roof was restored in 1993 under the supervision of the Superintendency for Cultural Heritage, preserving the original terracotta tiles, while the facades were renovated in 2012.In the drawing room of the piano nobile, a handwritten note by Puccini from his time here is on display, alongside an 1895 inventory signed by the Maestro. The estate also houses the private archive of the Orsi Bertolini Counts (spanning from the 17th to the early 20th century), the library of Dionisio Anzilotti, and the original 1848 piano on which the composer worked, which is included in the sale. Every summer, the park hosts an opera concert dedicated to Puccini, sponsored by the Municipality of Uzzano.The Italianate garden, with its walkways, symmetrical flowerbeds, and a central fountain, preserves its pristine original layout, and the estate also includes authentic rural buildings still in their period state. The property's history dates back to the 17th century: it was acquired in 1686 by the Orsi Bertolini family, who expanded it until 1851. It has been under ministerial heritage protection since 1913, making it one of the first listed properties in Italy. Thanks to the Anzilotti family, the estate has preserved its character as a prestigious private representation residence to this day.The villa is located in Valdinievole, between Pistoia and Lucca, in one of the most peaceful and secluded hillside areas of central Tuscany, ideal for those seeking absolute privacy without sacrificing proximity to key points of interest. Florence, Lucca, and Pisa can all be reached in about 40 to 50 minutes by car, Pisa Airport is less than an hour away, and the Versilia coast, with Forte dei Marmi and Viareggio, is just a short drive.The area is renowned both for the historic thermal baths of Montecatini and Monsummano, among the most prestigious in Italy, and for a deep-rooted agricultural tradition focused on the production of extra virgin olive oil and local wine. The surrounding countryside retains an authentically rural character, offering a more discreet and understated alternative to highly touristed Tuscan regions such as Chianti.Overall, the property benefits from an exceptionally strategic location: secluded and quiet, yet within easy reach of art, culture, the coast, airport connections, and world-class spa facilities.20 km from Lucca 55 km from Viareggio 60 km from Pisa Airport60 km from Florence
