History
The villa was commissioned in 1952 by Countess Nathalie Volpi of Misrata, wife of Count Giuseppe Volpi, founder of the Venice Film Festival, and was designed by architect Tomaso Buzzi.[1][2]
The villa has served as the filming location for several films including Divorce Italian Style and Compagni di scuola.[3]
Description
The villa, which is located within the boundaries of Circeo National Park, lies on a sand dune facing the Tyrrhenian Sea. Featuring a neoclassical and neo-Palladian style, it is composed by a central volume and two side wings. The central part of the villa resembles a classical Roman temple.[2]
