Villa Carboni

Il giardino nacque come pertinenza di un convento Seicentesco, che fu trasformato in villa nei secoli successivi quando fu acquisito dalla nobile famiglia Carboni. La parte architettonica si articola dunque in un edificio principale, una dependance del XIX secolo, le vecchie stalle (ora adibite a rimessa) e un vecchio mulino ad acqua di cui resta oggi la torre cilindrica. Nel giardino, oltre alla monumentale statua di Nettuno su piedistallo in pietra, si trovano alcune fontanelle antiche, una vasca con ninfee, un tavolo in pietra e un sarcofago di età romana adibito ad abbeveratoio.

The garden was born as orchard to the convent set in the XVII century. As the monastic buidling was dismissed, it was renewed by the new proprietary - the noble family Carboni - into a farming house. The complex was thus transformed into a productive site, mantaining a few characters like the tower (formerly, a watermill), the drinking trough, and the orchard. Some decorative elements were added in the following centuries, like a waterbasin with nymphaeas, and little fountains and a monumental statue of Neptune on a high stone stall. Today, the garden is made by olive trees and flowerings.
