The house is an historic
country residence of the
family of Barons Battistini
and became an artists`
meeting place since
Mattia Battistini was born
in 1856.

He is one of the greatest
baritones in the history of
bel canto.

Beloved by Tsar Nicholas
II and Emperor Franz
Joseph of Austria, he was
called `The King of
Baritones and the Baritone
of Kings.`
Guests and close friends
who frequented the villa
included artists such as
Giuseppe Verdi, Gabriele
D`Annunzio, Jules
Massenet, Pietro
Mascagni and Lina
Cavalieri

The house is located  in
upper Lazio close to
Umbria, 16 km from the
ski slopes of Monte
Terminillo, a few km from
Greccio, Rieti, Terni, Lake
Turano, and 1 km from the
Belmonte in Sabina golf
club. It borders San
Francesco path. It`s 70 km
from Rome 

It dates back to the 1700s
and was purchased by the
Battistini family, my
ancestors. 

The villa is spread over
two levels with a total area
of ​​500 square meters.

The upper floor,
measuring 250 square
meters, features spacious
rooms, and the walls of
the living room were
painted by Antonino
Calcagnadoro  --(Phone number)-- ) with frescoes
depicting landscapes and
floral motifs similar to
those in the Teatro Flavio
Vespasiano in Rieti.

The bright spaces include
five bedrooms, two
bathrooms, a very large
dining room with 7-8
meter ceilings with
exposed beams and a
majestic fireplace, as well
as a spacious kitchen.
Completing the living area
is an upper floor with four
bedrooms and a
bathroom.

On the lower floor, at
street level, are a stable
and a basement, also
measuring approximately
250 square meters and
with independent access,
currently used as a
warehouse and garage.
These spaces can easily
be converted into
additional living areas,
combining functionality
and charm in a unique
setting.

Nestled deep within the
rock is an ancient cellar, a
true historical gem, once
used for wine storage.

The villa is surrounded by
a 5,000-square-meter
garden with oak trees,
vines, wisteria, plane
trees, and centuries-old
fruit trees.

Just 45 minutes from the
capital. Perfectly
connected to major roads,
the villa is 20 minutes

motorway. Ciampino and
Fiumicino international
airports are 94 km (1 hour
