    Purchased between 1938 and 1939 by the Opera Nazionale Sovvenzioni
    Antincendi - an organization with welfare functions of the National Fire Brigade Corps - the Villa was initially intended as a Rest Home
    for the Fire Brigade personnel, then as a Summer Camp for the children of Fire Brigades from all over Italy.
    Following the events of the Second World War, the
    real estate complex was first declared a permanent colony, then used
    as a Military Hospital for German troops and, later,
    American troops. After the war, demanding
    adaptation work was carried out to accommodate a large community of
    war orphans, children of Fire Brigades.
    The noble institution, inaugurated in 1950, received authoritative
    Italian and foreign recognition for its excellent organization and
    management; but, later, having lost the social
    purposes for which it was created, it had to close in 1968.

      A stately building that is already showing its age.

      But you can still feel the charm of a bygone era!👍
